Ben,I was wondering if you would consider adding a delete button, so we can delete our replied messages off the message boards. For instance I have posted messages that had mistakes in them, but had no way to correct the mistakes, so I had to type another message explaining what I meant, or correcting the errors. I've also posted a message, then wished I hadn't of posted it, but had no way to delete it.

Please, please add this! I beg of you!

Runs (in a bus) to Ben's house. jojo227 begins chanting.

Deletion Button! Deletion button!

Finally Ben comes out. "Would you be quiet out there!"

Sunny adds, "Yeah. Some of us need to sleep."

She hears jojo227's chant and then looks at her husband. "They don't have a deletion button? What kind of sick person are you?"

The chant suddenly changes:

Sunny! Sunny! Sunny!

"Finally some recognition!"

Ben looks at Sunny, then at jojo227.

"If I add a delete button, will you shut up and leave us alone?"

"I'll consider it." barks back jojo227.

Ben sighs. "Teens."

TO BE CONTINUED...

Ben doesn't want to add a delete button because then the following messages wouldn't make sense, but i think an "edit" button would be good!!

Well, then it sounds like someone has already thought about this and requested it, because how would you know that Ben doesn't want to add a delete button, and why wouldn't the following not make sense. What I am saying is, if we post a message, and decide we don't want to say anything, and delete it that message off, then there's nothing there for anyone one to reply to. The message that was there before I posted mine, would be the one a person would follow up on. They wouldn't know about the message I deleted off. Again to explain it a little better...Hope..lol, if I post a new message, and change my mind, then I'd like to be able to completely delete that message from the board. Than would not change the message previously typed or hinder others from replying to it. And this does makes perfect sense. As far as an edit button, if you are talking about being able to make changes within the message posted on the board, then that exactally what I was talking about adding, only I called it a delete button instead.

Well, Elsey sweetie, it took MaMa DaRu a moment to get what you meant, and I do. What you are saying is if we delete off a message, after others have replied to it then it wouldn't make sense...and that's very true.

However, what I was asking for was a delete button added, only for deleting off brand new messages we posted, then after that, there's no way to revise, edit, or delete any of them. Anyway, maybe between the two of us, you'll know what we are talkking about Ben.....Oh yes...that was cute jojo...lol

PS..On second thought, it would probably take a miracle to add what I'm requesting, so Ben, I'll just slow down and make sure I'm pleased with my message before I post it....lol.
