  a couple of questions-

  1- is there a way to delete old forum posts?

  2- is there a way to make important posts a "sticky"?

  I can't find a way to do either

  Thanks in advance!

  I was told only way to delete your own post is to click “edit” then delete your message and then type a full stop, hope that helps.

  I think it only works on your own posts, and not sure about how or if possible to make a post a “sticky”.

  I should have included as a CC owner, is there a way to remove old posts and make important posts a sticky?

  I know we used to be able to make posts a sticky as I made one that way a few months ago but no longer can.

  I also seem to remember the Owner's Tools had a few more options than they do now.

  In FF, on a PC, both work fine.

  As an owner, I see a "delete" tab at the bottom of every post, and I can use it. I had to refresh the page to have it shown.

  "Sticky" is available when creating or editing a post (also from other members). Unlike public forum posts, there are tabs above the text window - look into "options"!
  A quick test proved that it works!

  And if you want to delete posts after the one you're deleting be sure to check the "children" box.

  well, something is messed up on my end.  I can't delete an old post, I can't make a new post a sticky and I just noticed, I can't even delete any of my own posts.

  After finding that out, I did a uninstall and a reinstall of WGT, same thing. 

  I have a feeling what caused it.  I transferred ownership awhile back when I took a little hiatus and the CC was transferred back to me when I was still a recruit.  Gonna transfer back and forth again to see what happens

  The forums are separate from the app - no effect.

  That is a very probable cause as there have been some problems connected to that. Can't tell any details though.

  You'll probably have to work with CS to get it resolved.  While getting our club restarted I was owner for a few months and did not have the ability to edit the club forum.  When I transferred it to JimQ91660 he had the ability to do it.  Not sure what actions if any he had to take.  

  Good luck, having a squared away club forum is important.

  Ok, not a quick fix, transferring back and forth didn't correct the issue. 

  Time to contact CS.

  Thanks for all the suggestions!
