Can anyone help, please.
I've posted two 'offered for free' posts and the items have been taken, but I don't know how to delete the posts. I sent a message to admin (I think!) asking someone to do it but the posts are still there. Is there an obvious way to do it that I'm just missing?

Just click on the x at the top of the post ( next to the pencil and quotation marks icons ), I've just tried this on the test section and it seems to work.

I'm not an expert... but I think that that method only works if there hasn't been a subsequent post in that thread...

Yes, I've just seen that, the X does not appear in the icons now.
Maybe best to use the pencil icon to edit the script down to nothing with the cursor or just edit the heading of the item posts to ''TAKEN'

Re: Deleting posts
You can only delete a post with the x tab until somebody else posts.
The way to deal with this situation is to edit your first post (click on pencil icon) then edit the title to say some thing like GONE or SOLD. It's editing the title of your OP that notifies everybody of the changed situation

Don't posts in the sale threads disappear automatically after a set time scale if no posts added? Can't recall but 30 days springs to mind. It's buried somewhere in the t&C's
Just noticed it says the permissions allow the poster to delete the post.
This is at the bottom of the offered for free subject index.

The small ads do eventually disappear after a while but not before the potential for more futile interest to be generated after the transaction has occurred.
