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?

            If you want a post edited or deleted, post a link to it here with an expanation and a moderator may edit it for you.

              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,
