Forum Won't Let Me Delete My Posts

The WinAMP forum won't let me delete my posts, even when I'm logged in. You should fix this.

That's how it is. Only Administrators or moderators can delete posts.

minor correction: there is a short window (15 minutes i believe) in which you can edit and delete your posts. after the 15 minutes, edits are marked with the Edited By: tag and deleting is not allowed. this was put into effect because people would say some really stupid stuff, huge discussions would follow, and then they'd go back and delete the post that started the whole thing. needless to say, that got annoying real quick.

Yep, couldn't delete even after a few seconds. Maybe this is somthing we should being up with watadoo to either giver permission or to change the button or note so we don't have people complaining they can't delete posts.
