Deleting a post

[Behram]

How does one delete a post one has made by mistake or is a duplicate ?

Why is it that in some of our long posts, the font at the fag end or the last para changes to a smaller size by default ? We then have to go to Edit and change the font to the original size manually ?

Hi Behram,

I believe the current settings are set so that only an admin or moderator is able to delete (or archive) a post.

I am not sure what you mean about fonts changing sizes but I will look into this. Is there a specific example on Zpeakerbox now that you can direct us to?

Could you visit this thread

and read Post No. 6 and 9. The fonts have become smaller towards the end without my changing anything. It also happened with later posts but then I Used the Edit function to get it back to normal.

Hi Behram,

When I attempt to edit the post, it shows that the font style was changed to Times New Roman, which consequently changed the font size as well.

If you would like us to revert the specific text to the original font style, please let us know.

Hi Parizad,

When the post is quite long I normally draft my reply out in Microsoft Wordpad using only one font and one size, then copy paste the entire saved text onto the forum editor. After I click on the Submit Reply button that is the time that the font size in the lower half of the post reduces.

It happended so yesterday also only on the last line. It is not all that necessary to reset the font size of the previous posts as they have already been read.

I think it may be related to when you copy and paste sections of your post from Wordpad. When you respond to a post on Zpeakerbox, is your account set to Rich text or Simple text?

How do I ascertain that ? I think it is set to rich text as all editing icons are visible on the panel above.

There's a choice?

There's a choice?

Scroll all the way down to the Messaging Editor Interface (under Misc).

The reason why he's having this issue, is basically what Roopkirani was referring to. If you type half of the post in the editor here, and copy half of the post from another editor (say MS Word), it will likely result in different formatting issues.

The suggested solution to this is to write it all in one or the other editor, but don't mix both. If you cannot avoid this, then what you need to do is once you have pasted everything into the Zpeakerbox text box, select everything (CTRL + A) and format it accordingly.

Hope this helps.

Hi Narius,

I dont use half of any editor. I type the text fully in Microsoft Wordpad and copy paste the entire text on the ZPB editor pane.

I have now changed the option to Standard Formatting, previously was in rich text mode.
