How do I delete a thread in the forum?

Question

How do I delete a thread from the forum? My thread has a reply from someone already and there Delete button is not there for me use anymore but I don’t want to continue with that thread neither do I want it to remain there forever. Is there any specific place in the forums that I can use to ask the moderators to delete my thread?
Thanks.

HI Mpum !
Only Forum Administrator / Moderator will be able to delete the thread. User(s) are not allowed to delete a thread once there has been a reply posted to that thread.
It will be always nice to let thread stay there so other users can benefit from it.
Please let me know if this doesn’t work for you. Hope I have answered you correctly.

Hi Niaz
Thank you for your reply. I don’t think it will be useful for the other users to see the thread that I want to get rid of because the way I had asked the question was flawed and one of the users kindly pointed it out to me and that is the only reply which is there. Do you know how I can ask one of the moderators to delete that thread? That thread can be found in the link below. I certainly don’t want it to remain in the forums.
Many thanks.

The only thing you could do is, delete all your posts and hope for the other to delete their posts aswell so you can delete your question. Otherwise only mods can delete threads as told above already.

I deleted that thread as I saw you posted another one which was solved.
