I goofed up copying a post with a picture, no picture shows and the photo URL
leads to error page.
Can a single persons post be deleted to clean up list to try again?

As the original poster of any message, you ought to be able to 'Edit' the post to...

(1) delete/erase all content/text/urls/image addresses; then
(2) simply retype the correct info; and
(3) hit Preview/Submit

Send a PM to LAB.
 
I did not check preview as just copied a prior post
so didn't realize the photo didn't make it till sent off.
I'll ping LAB to dispose of my excess.

As mentioned, you can use the "Edit" button to correct anything in your message but you cannot delete any posts yourself, if you require a post to be removed just delete the text, and type in: "delete post".
 
OK LAB, you assume I understand forum process lingo at this point.

You mean I initiated the post I can open that to hunt for an
edit icon and then ease text and put 'delete post' in the subject
line to remove entirely?

Better to hand hold me though this in here - before letting me
clutter forum even more/

Yes, once you are logged in, at the top right of each of your messages you should (I hope?) see an EDIT button?

Use it as many times as you like to try to correct any problems within the message, then "Preview" it and re-"Submit" it, but don't worry if you cannot manage to correct something, as we prefer that members had a go and got it wrong rather than not bother at all.
