Xingu Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) This is another function that I have not tried, so this will be my best guess. You may have to go to the actual post and delete it from there.Dave is planning to do a software update in the not to distant future. Might be worth waiting to see if this is a function that gets changed. EDIT: I just went to the actual post that I had uploaded an attachment and was able to delete it from there. This removed it from my attachment list as well. Edited October 17, 2017 by Xingu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I just ckd. I can do that. But wow thats a royal pain It would be nice if I could just go down the attachment list. click individual pics and hit delete in one key stroke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Yep, it's the same problem deleting PM's. I am hoping the new version of the software is a little more user friendly.From a content standpoint, we would rather see the attachments stay active. Maybe that is why the developers built in a few unnecessary steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I would prefer to delete pictures out once the thread dies . Ive got pics in threads from 4 years ago. I think its run its course. there used to be a way to delete them in my attachments list but I had to do them one at a time. Not easy but certainly easier then going to each individual thread to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Ok, Now that the board has been upgraded. I've looked and looked and I still see no way to delete pictures other than go to each individual thread and modify them there, which to me seems like a HUGE pain in the ars . I would really prefer to be able to just open 'my attachments ' and click each individual picture and hit delete even multiples at a time ,,,sure sounds simple ? Opening an account on a 3rd party picture hosting site is not an option for me. I''ll go without posting pictures first ( simple personal preference reasons only ) Edited December 2, 2017 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xingu Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Looks like that is how the developers decided to do things. Again, for forums like this content is everything. I can see why they might have made it harder to delete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks like to remove photos from trade threads once an item is gone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
