    Hi!

    Is there a way for me to delete my posted threads?

    Thanks!

    In a way, yes, but you are strongly encouraged not to do so since others can benefit from the discussion.

    Is there a way to make my thread post private so that members of the forum only can see the thread post?

    Thanks!

    I'm benefiting from this threads' knowledge, but it says I shouldn't use it.
    So basically its like -1+1

    Why don't you want outsiders to benefit from the thread ?

    If I get your drift, you are in a class and do not want your classmates to copy your answer?

    Unhappy

    Is there a way to make my thread posts private?

    I have a problem with my previous thread posts and I am risking the leakage of my codes...
    What I mean is the whole codes, I made a mistake in posting codes.
    I should have posted snippets of my codes but I always post my whole codes.

    I need to protect my codes... I have my classmates who are fond of "copy pasting" codes from the net... They don't study the codes, they just copy, paste, print, and submit it... And when I search for google with typing my query problem, my thread post comes in the list first... They might be searching on google now...

    Please tell me...

    THANKS!

    Looking at the two other threads that you started, neither of them has your final answer, and what code they do have from you is grossly incomplete. As such, I see no reason to help you delete them or otherwise modify them.
