Why can't I edit or delete a post in the forums after I make one?

Sorry, I don't know where to ask this. This seems to be the only forum not tied to a product.

Everytime I post in the forums, the ...More link to edit or delete is greyed out for me. (see pic) That box doesn't expand. How do I fix this? I'm logged in. It's the same on Safari or Brave.

Seems like I cannot delete my own posts any longer. Why?

users can't delete posts. community experts and employees can move posts, but others cannot.

The forum is such a mess... I'm surprised they haven't closed the topic as "solved" yet 🙂

as with some of my requests (the quoting bug, for instance)

Non-employee moderators may also edit a post or move it to a place where an employee can delete it.

Indeed, never seen that in a forum

I've posted 98 messages in 8 years still considered a newbie?

I have a post with an image of an error report that has a personal e-mail in it. Can the image be removed?

Thanks. I made a few typos and wanted to correct them and was surprised I couldn't. I thought it might be a setting I couldn't find, but now I understand why.

Cheers,
