You Can't Delete Posts From The B Site? Use A Different Browser.

I'd never thought I'd ever do it, namely delete posts from my bubblews account. But now I've reached that stage. It's a boring business. So I only do ten to twenty every day. I hope the site will live long enough until I'm through the 375 posts I've written there.
I've seen several angry comments stating that bubblews doesn't allow the deletion of posts. This anger on top of the anger which the members have already accumulated can't be good for their health. In an exchange of comments I learnt from a member that not all browsers allow the deletion. The member I conversed with used firefox. I told her to try Google Chrome and - lo and behold - she has no more problems and is now happily deleting away. So for once bubblews is not responsible if something doesn't work.
Have I helped anyone with this piece of advice?

Actually, the site IS at fault because it is the duty of all good sites to make sure that they support all the current browsers. If a script doesn't run on all the major browsers (configured normally and without any script blockers, of course) then that is the site's fault, not the user's!

I am so happy to be able to delete but they are also taking away the money I have in my bank so I guess pretty soon I will owe them money!! lol

were the posts you deleted very old or more recent?

@hereandthere I'm deleting from the most recent to the oldest. It's the easiest way to avoid endless scrolling.

@pgntwo I looked at that and (also read the Help information behind the links on the page). I'd be interested to know if it works because, at one place, it says that you must own the domain that you wish to be de-indexed (which, of course, doesn't apply to posts on Bubblews).

@MALUSE Apparently - spam! I wrote a post about how bubblews is in decline and would be over at another site - no names given - ten mins later, deleted!
I created another account, and asked @nameless if she can enlighten us about the future of Bubblews - her response is as follows. . .
Your only game is to stir up malcontent. I wonder why you waste your time so

I don't understand the rationale behind deleting posts. Way too much work.

It took me a long time to understand it, too. Many members do it to spite bubblews HQ and to prevent them from earning from their posts because they don't pay the members. This isn't an argument for me. But if my posts can't be found on the internet any more, I can use them again here on myLot. This is what I intend to do with some.

For what it is worth, I am leaving my posts there. I got paid every time and enjoyed my time there. I can take any post and re-write it if necessary, since I am constantly evolving and think different as time progresses and learn more about everything.

That's really interesting. The site programming has always been weak. I have thousands of posts and won't bother deleting them.

@MALUSE I am sorry, but I thought I tried to help you with this young man's comment here? I must have forgotten to submit my comment after I wrote it... Here it is again:
I believe Sajid wants you to understand that many things cause him fear, emotionally, but he does not allow others to see that fear, nor does he necessarily respond to it himself.
I met this young man when he first set up his account. He chose to contact me (apparently at random) to ask how to use this site. I gave him a quick reply explaining that I just go talk to people about whatever is interesting to me. As long as people respond, I get paid. (I think he is taking me at my word. He hasn't written any posts, but is doing as I do and just stepping into an interesting thread and talking to people.)
I hope it works as well for him as it has for me!

I am reserving the right to move some of my posts. Time will tell which decision I make.

I've used Chrome to delete my posts and it's worked just fine. I'm saving any worthy content on my personal blog, however.

I have started to delete my posts on there and once they have all gone I will delete my account!

It's a fairly pointless thing to do (and I've deleted LOTS) but it does make me feel better to take away my toys.

I had started in deleting my posts there too. Soon I will be finished in taking out all my articles there.
