Cannot delete posts

So I'm reviving my marathon (get your submissions in, lel) and in the course of so doing I tried to clear the forum of all posts now irrelevant, posts that related to the 'thon from 2 years ago. I was able to delete almost everything, but this thread -> https://www.speedrun.com/fleet_fest/thread/a4xwo

can't (?) be deleted. When I try to delete the first post (my own post, mind), I get an error message:

[quote]Error Your security token is invalid. This most likely means that someone tried to trick you into doing stuff you do not want.[/quote]

Um....no? I'm just trying to delete posts from literal years ago that are now meaningless. And it's weird, because as I say I was able to do this with other threads on the forum.

Itself, this isn't a terribly urgent issue (just a little annoying), but I hope it isn't indicative of any other problems. I have not been tricked into doing stuff I don't want, I just want (and indeed do want!) to delete old, useless posts. It won't even let me delete my own post, though as moderator I should be able to delete everything.

I also can't set the date for this marathon (13-15 Sep). Every time I try to, the date field resets to 1 Jan.

Netherlands

Did you also fill in the year? Thats required otherwise the field resets to Jan 1st. I fixed that and filled in the dates and the marathon is counting down again. As for your posts, the link seems to point to a dead URL. I take it the deletion worked. Good luck with the organization!

Well there was no option for 2019 in the year field. The options were -- , 2018, and 2017. So I went with -- and it gave that weird result

The thread I was trying to delete is gone now indeed, but I am confused why, I only ever tried to delete my first post. All's well, I guess.

And thank you :)
