Hey guys,
not sure if this qn has been asked, but I have tried searching the forum,

but how do you delete posts you accidentally post as 'anonymous'? I keep doing it accidentally, even though I'm signed in. also, I accidentally reply to posts that aren't specifically meant for me, and then I cant delete it... what do I do?

Deleting an anonymous post yourself isn't possible because once it is made, you can't trace it to a user! Meaning, even the site doesn't know it is you, so you can't delete it!

You can always quote the anonymous post you made and just say, "Hey guys, this was me, sorry posted anonymously." No need to delete it - Same goes for replying to other peoples posts! Really no big deal - So don't worry! :)

Ohh, that's pretty cool in its own way, the website not even knowing it's you.

Thanks so much

Well, I exaggerate a little - If the admins really wanted to know who it was, we could find out. So it's not a complete get out of jail free card ;)

No worries!
