Deleting threads

I posted a thread in server side but then found the solution in a tutorial on an ASP dev forum so I came back here to delete the thread only to find I no longer could…

before if you created a thread and then edited the first post in that thread you had the option to delete that post and because it was the first post in the thread, it would delete the thread too

yeah us ‘normies’ had the ability to delete threads we’d created…how come not anymore?
