Title: admin cant remove post with multiple replies?
Post by: MacGig on August 24, 2020, 08:39:53 AM
as admin, I'm trying to remove a post with 5 replies. I choose the first post and get this when trying to delete it:

You are not allowed to delete the first post in a topic.
If you want to delete this topic, click on the Remove Topic link, or ask a moderator/administrator to do it for you.


is there some setting I need to change to let me delete posts with many replies? Im not seeing a "remove topic" link.

Remove Topic is a button link right below all the posts and the page numbers. etc
