thanks for the link podz!
i read the first line and realized that i do not need to modify the user level permissions!
you see, i am very new here and i had posted under an admin, level 10, user and then was trying to see if i could have lower level users delete posts…and of course they could not delete mine because i was above their level…but i made some assumption that only admin level 10 users could delete/edit posts…
i just jumped the gun before i understood the level system! so thanks again, you saved me much time trying to figure out how to do something that i did not even need to do!! ??
