Thanks. 

It's a shame, as while it's convenient to have some favourites readily available, there are tons that were only used once and will never be needed again. 

Takes a while to page through them all so it would be really useful to delete some.  Oh well.

I have had to register with my work email address (which I'd rather not, really) because the validation/verification emails just do not get delivered to my normal email address. I also can't change the email address back to the one I want it to be after having registered because there's a need for an email to be received at the email address that won't seem to receive emails from this site...

 

....can anyone help? Is there somewhere in particular I should be posting this question?

I'm kind of struggling to understand what you're saying.  PM me the e-mail address you want to receive the e-mails.  Have you checked your spam filter?

As of this Sunday morning I canna seem to edit my posts (when adding content).  I’m using my iPhone.  Not sure where the glitch or incompatibility lies, but when I paste content I get a blank post that has ‘required’ in red lettering and nothing else, the OP is erased.

Deleted. I have solved the issue.

Take a mental note that you’re here now and move on with your life.

 

 

Actually, while I’m here, the site seems to be a bit glitchy on iPhone in that occasionally it won’t let me reply to a topic or use any of the icons on the top banner until I close the tab and reopen it.

Are there any ways to delete my own comments

No. The best you can do is edit your post until there's nothing there. If you want your post to get deleted, there's always the option of linking a GIF of a penised individual in a moment of pleasure, or a frail actor's house phone number, but the mods would probably prefer if you didn't.

Any chance we could have a "yawn" reaction?  Or a snooze one Zzzzzzzz

I'd have a use for that. One (in fact now 2) specific threads come to mind. No prizes for guessing which.

You are going to have to tell me, I have never been any good at winning prizes.

Foreign Personalities? QEII? Boris (or someone else who likely won't die during the next 20 years)?

MIA/Political Frailty/Law and Order/Hermits whenever SC posts about a local US personality nobody on this forum has ever heard of before?

If this (excellent idea) is implemented, I’d also suggest upping the daily reaction quota quite a lot.

Not so much threads, more a certain type of post.  Usually contributed late at night (UK time) by serial offenders.

Excellent because I specifically said there were none. So you haven't missed out :).

 

@Gooseberry Crumble may have been responsible for their creation.

One is like the bastard child (there's a clue there too) of the very worst parts of soap opera's (which is some feat because to me that's every single moment of every one of them) combined with the results of some godawful reality tv non-entities sticking it up one another.

The other is more of the same with a title that means I get a little bit of sick in my mouth every time I see it because somebody added a post.

 

I'm sure I've ranted about them. 

Still I suppose that may only be actually within them, so if you have the good sense to avoid them completely you'd never know.

Well of course, you can't 'smiley' (ha, as a verb, take that. I blame all that winter olympics and 'medalling', ugh) a thread, only the posts within it. Which is what I mean.

[Toast 16,140]

Yes, it's a pity that we can't "hide" threads.

How about something that encapsulates the Alan Partridge shrug too. Same reason(s) as cited above.

Another case of DL being unreliable on iPhones: emotes are going to tits. Sometimes when I select them they will only paste at the start of my post, other times they won’t post at all.

 

This is on top of the existing issues of occasionally not being able to reply to a topic or view the PMs and notifications bar, though at least that is fixable by closing the browser app and reloading.

Any idea how you go about deleting my account?

1. If you want to continue visiting DL, sign on anonymously (though, as they say, ‘membership has its privileges’).

2. If you do not want to continue visiting DL, don’t.

 

As for your account and whopping 57 posts, they and you are anonymous and already forgotten.  You COULD go back and reduce every post to a dot like @Tempus Fugit did lmao. That said, if you click on Tempus’s profile all the content is still there LMAO!!  So I wouldn’t bother. Apparently the dot is only visible when reading the threads.

Learn something new around here every day.

There’s no reason to delete an account; maybe just don’t visit the site anymore and forget it exists?

 

Or make sure you don’t accidentally visit these forums again by sending porn to a hundred users*.
 

 

*I should say, I don’t recommend this.

And if you do,  make sure @Toast and I get a copy. We missed out last time.

Dear Admins (read: @Death Impends) your emoji palate doesn’t attach when using an iPhone and hasn’t for many months.  Figured I should say something. 
While I’m here, I also have been unable to edit a post and add text for another many months - well I cannnn but when I attach text it blanks out the entire post including the original text.  One must post with faith and faith alone to see what they have in fact posted.  
I will be happy to provide photos of each issue if needed.

when I say months I mean at least 6.
