Hello.

When I go to my attachment folder in settings I find that a couple of my attachments don't have the small un-ticked square in the delete column enabling me to delete them. Most of them have this option but a couple of them don't. They are 'gif' files not 'jpg' if that makes a difference.

Could you please tell me how to delete them from the threads they are currently in?

Thank You.

I don't know why you don't have that option, I'll ask our tech guys if there's a problem somewhere.

In the meantime, if you want to get rid of them, report your posts to a moderator and they will be able to delete the attachments for you.

I'm having the same problem with several older images that are in my personal setting attachment folder. I was able to get rid of others but not all of them.

If it's helpful, the images that I can't delete are from the years of 2007 & 8. They're missing the little box on the right side of the screen for the delete check.

I got a reply from our tech guy and it looks like all these attachments are in locked threads. The software won't allow you to delete them because it sees it as a moderation action and you don't have permissions to open locked threads.

You can still ask any moderator to delete them for you, though.

Lovely. I've sent a DM to a moderator on the Relationship forum where they're locked in but had no reply as yet.

Hopefully it'll be sorted soon.

Thanks again.

Just an update to let you know that the modulator I DM'd got back to me and it was all sorted. The Tech guys were spot on.

Thanks for the help.
