Also, is it possible to delete one of your own posts if something goes wrong and you double-post?
Vanilla forums doesn't allow you to delete your own posts. You could flag it and request a moderator to delete it.
I thought being a ancient necromancer that you would have seen all kinds of sorcery?
TY!~
