I've never seen an option to do that.

1. The DU copyright policy system was involved there, I think

2. I've never seen that before.

3. The mods gave the op the option to edit the post or delete it

Just happened to be a member with fewer posts

4. locked for editing issues. then he used edit to self delete. not hard, lol. even with 26 posts

he figured it out

in total humor warrior, you have how many posts and you have to ask, lol

5. Look at how many posts I've got

and I still don't get how that worked exactly. No matter how many may be able to figure stuff like this out, we're not all privy to (or skilled at) the ins and outs of all the little tricks to the board here ;)

6. i am lmao cause really, i am computer dummy all the way

when mods lock a thread providing the op'er an opportunity to edit because they didnt comply with copy right rule, the op'er merely changed subject to self deleted cause he didnt want to bother with the thread any more. it is no different than how we all can edit our posts.

see how computer stupid i am. i probably explained it horribly.

7. No, you explained it fine.

Now it makes sense :)

And you'd hate what I'm currently searching around the 'net for at the moment: AutoCAD Toolbar and Button customization techniques (it involves their brand of code, "AutoLISP".) I'm trying to combine a couple of commands I use quite often that could save me some copying and pasting into another program just to do acreage calculations ;)

8. lol

see, i dont know wtf you are talking about. but have at it and have fun.

on edit... oh, and i dont care what you are talking about, really. no need to explain

[kentauros]

9. I would not even attempt to do any explaining.

Only other AutoCAD (computer-aided-drafting) users would even begin to understand :P

10. I am replying to this thread so I can explore the "Edit " function

Here goes

I guess it has to be locked first, damn.

11. But how did that thread get locked?

Isn't the last post in a locked thread usually from a mod posting something like "Locking due to (fill in the DU rule here)."

12. Sea Post/Prisoner Number Six Above

:)

[Pool Hall Ace]

13. What??

I don't know what's wrong with me, but I don't see a post from Prisoner Number Six in either thread. :silly:

[kentauros]

15. That's why I said "Sea" above.

Ah'm suttul that way :silly:

14. If my member ever tries to self delete me, I'll beat the crap out of it!
