Would you ever change it that we can delete any topic we like - if we was to find it triggering ourselves. (Not saying i want to do that right now im just wondering if would ever be a choice)

like



It says "dismiss".which means delete the post from my account(?)And i think i did delete one of those pinned cause im sure there is suppose to be three pinned up there ah. (Not on purpose) 

Im just wondering why is it only an option for those posts?
“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Thanks for mentioning this @Shaunie.

    So dismissing the post doesn't delete it, but un-pins it for your account. That's why you can only for announcements and not other threads. If you scroll through the forum back to when it was last updated, you should still be able to see posts you've dismissed - is that the case for you?

    This is a weird one, though, because we just did some testing and it doesn't seem to work properly. I think the way it's meant to work is you can dismiss an announcement (e.g. if it's no longer relevant for you), but in theory re-announcing it for us should pin it back to the top of the thread until you dismiss it again. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

    We're looking into it now and will update this post when we figure out how it's meant to work/whether it's bugged. :) Good spot.
