How do I delete my Forum account?

You can't and the Admins will not delete it either.

You can ask to have your account suspended and if the Admins are in a good mood then they will oblige. This will not delete your account but it will mean you can no longer log-in.

It is puzzling that you cannot post pictures here even following the latest update of the forum software for this is something that most members manage to do without problem. I suspect that the fault lies not with the forum but in the method you are using for the particular browser you use but without more detail on exactly what method you are attempting to use no one can help you. Continuing to repeat a method that does not work in hope that one day it will is an exercise in futility.

Using the "Insert Image" icon

works on every browser I have tried (IE, Chrome, Firefox and Safari). This pop-up has a "Preview" button so that you can check that the URL you are using is correctly formatted. One thing you often have to do manually on this is remove the "HTTP://" from the start of the URL as the wizard provides that for you. I seldom use the wizard because of this.

Right-clicking on an image, selecting "Copy" and then pasting it into a forum post using Right-click and "Paste" also works on all those browsers. You can even use Ctrl-V to paste the copied image.

Using the BBcode of [*IMG] and [*/IMG] (without the "*") to frame the image URL also works on said browsers. If you are posting an image from Photobucket.com that site even produces the BBcodes for you.

What does not work is blindly posting the image URL and expecting the forum software to automatically work-out what you wanted to do with it.

Perhaps it should, and perhaps "other forums" allow you to do that, but this one doesn't. Sorry about that.

PS: Attempting to get yourself banned will not result in your account being deleted. Such behaviour is preserved for the amusement of others.

What?

moderator; are you reading this?

What a weird one. This is the weirdest I've seen in a while.

This is why I always say ... to no one in particular: if you wanna get really angry on our asses, ... please be funny.

v ... Not like that.

come on, just let me delete my account, will you?

Hello Gryphon,

I have not met you however please don't leave upset, I don't know the reason you want to leave but don't let our grumpies or others chase you away. The grumpies may seem very intimidating at first but they are all very nice people, I promise.

Some think they have a sense of humour while others might not get it. This is a public forum and you are most welcome on here.

Do not take anything personal.

A Hug to you

I replied to your picture post telling you how to post pictures. Maybe I was a little vague but you could have asked further questions. And the answer to your question is that you can't delete your account. Reason?

Dean wrote:

We resist deleting accounts because all that persons posts remain but are attributed to "Guest" - we prefer to keep the user name so we know who said what and when. This is more important when the user in question has rated and reviewed albums since that is the raison d'être for the site existing,

I more or less said this and you should have seen the same information when you made your account. The admins aren't active every hour of the day so give 'em a break.

And nobody's gonna ban you if you swear.

No way man. It took you 7 years to tell us to F-off. You're not going anywhere. Sit down, shut up, and stare at PA.

...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"
