Default A post needs to be deleted or edited

Hello,

There is a post in the Vintage Owners that needs to be deleted or edited. I am not the one who made the post, but I had a similar problem some time ago, and I was not able to delete it or edit it, so I imagine that is the case for this situation also.

I am asking for some help from someone.

Thank you very much for your help.

Here is the post:

It's been removed from view. I suspect that happens when people try to copy and paste and the source doesn't agree with the destination. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. And just a tip for future reference, you can simply hit the Report button by any post and that will generate a report to the moderating team to take appropriate action.

Hi JulieU.

Thank you very much for your help.

I think that you are right about the "copy and paste" problem as I think that is what happened to me some time ago when I had the same problem.

I wonder if you could perhaps notify the original poster and let him know what caused the problem so that it doesn't happen again.

When it happened to me quite some time ago, someone else actually "quoted" my garbage post! At least, no one did that this time!

It took me a little while, but I finally found the "Report" button, so in the future, I will try to remember to use that.

Thanks again,
Sue

On that one, it was probably hard to find because, at least on mobile, you have to scroll for days just to get to the bottom where the Report button is.

Anyhow, happy to help, Sue!

Hello, as Julie noted (and for future reference), this issue often occurs when someone tries to drag and drop content from a website and into the message (Reply) interface.

Specifically, what happened in this case is someone dragged and dropped an image from outside the website and into the message (Reply) interface. This is not a supported function. To share a picture, it must be hot-linked by providing the URL to the picture or uploading it directly using the Uploader.
