Getting a post deleted prior to re-posting?

I screwed up by not checking the formatting of this post in Cafe Society. I can’t report my own posts, so I’m wondering if I can get it deleted so I can re-post with fixed formatting. It was cut and pasted from various sources and I was more concerned with the bolding of the names and didn’t even notice all the line breaks.

Pretty please?

You could just post the correct post and then tell everyone to disregard the bad post.

Or report the post immediately above or below it and say “My post is above/below this one. Could you delete it so I could fix it?”

You’re always welcome to report the post before or after yours to let us know what the coding should appear as; or, absent a post before or after (in a situation where you’re the OP and no one has yet responded), feel free to shoot us an e-mail with the proper coding.

That said, take a gander again at your post. I believe I removed all of the extraneous carriage returns. If you still feel it’s screwed up, just send me an e-mail with the proper returns (or lack thereof), and I’ll be happy to fix it for you.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! It looks great. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to do that. You are fantastic!

Hey, I wish everything I did on this board elicited such a response. :smiley:

Regarding that post, though, is there any problem with the extent of the quoting that’s been done from those newspaper articles?

See, this is why I don’t get the adoring responses to my actions. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, actually, that’s a good point. Please see the thread for my explanation of why the text was cut back.
