Canceling a post

[Sperrydogg]

So do you really have to delete your way out of a post if you click the wrong button? Seems like there should be a cancel button

Seems like there used to be a cancel button. I agree, there should be one. Was there ever an answer for this question?

Nope

Use the edit button and just insert 'nevermind...'

Sorry, this sub forum doesn’t see much traffic, so it’s easy for us to miss new posts.

The answer is no, there is no cancel button.
I get frustrated same as you, the platform simply doesn’t have it.


Side note
You can always PM any of the admins or mods if you don’t get a timely response to Wilkie this.

Yeah, this can be annoying....and no one really wants to read a 2000 word essay on any topic here. Brevity, conciseness is your friend.
I'd be on board for a word-count limit.

It’s faster to post it and delete it than to back out
