You should be able to delete it through facebook. That is frightening, if many of my posts went to facebook it would be a family nightmare. One major problem with this site, is the inability to delete comments I make.
I agree with ACCM - we should be able to edit our posts (or delete them) if we choose. Maybe not if we ask a question and it has answers (i.e. a thread is created), but if we're just replying to a question, we should be able to edit our response or delete it.
Much sympathies - here's an idea on how to get the moderators attention, someone could "report" your post - I'll go ahead an do that now for your post just above mine so maybe they'll contact you and you can tell them what post you want to delete. Good luck!
There are definitely some issues with this site for sure. Our comments and posts should NEVER be allowed to go through to Fb for one, and the inability to delete our comments is unacceptable in my opinion. I have noticed the moderator has the ability to delete certain things (links and phone numbers) that people have posted, so I feel that we should be able to delete comments that we have said. I am able to from my wall or if I post a comment on another person's wall but yet we can't delete our comments from a post.
What you saw when you went to post in the forum was a pop up after you hit submit asking you to log in. You have to be logged in to post or comment in the forum. There is a choice to log in with Facebook log in or you can use your AgingCare.com username and password. If you pushed the Facebook log in option all that did was log you into AgingCare.com with your Facebook log in, it did not post your comment on Facebook.

I once posted a comment in anger in response to someone's "attack" on my post. It was waaaay to personal and I knew that if I left it on the thread, posters would choose side and cause more ruckus. I copied the link above and then sent them an email with the link and which post to delete. I mentioned why I wanted it deleted. They were very nice to delete it. Of course by deleting it, anyone reading it would think that I was the instigator and the poor poster who attacked me was the victim. But, I had to choose the integrity of the thread and not my pride. After AC deleted my post, I no longer post on that thread - due to bad memories of it.
FYI, I'd also set up a separate email account when you join these sites. Whether it's FB or AC. I keep separate emails just for family, for orders and work, and for online sites like these.
What is the reason that we cannot delete or edit our own posts?
