I had that delete inabilty a while ago too.
The remaining aggravation I have found is that there apparently is a limit on the number of characters in a single posting both in the forums and in PMs (It is not listed anywhere but is I think 500: not many if like me you tend to be verbose sorry Ron!!). The trouble is it is extremely difficult to,check before posting how mamy characters your mastrerpice comprises. sure Word would do a word count but not characters
Several times I have had to retry with a lesser amount and sometimes it will accept what is obviously far more than 500
