    I've somehow uploaded a screenshot of my desktop as an attachment on a post. How the chuff do I get rid of it?

    I accidentally do rubbish like this all the time!! There is a way but I can't remember it. Let me post something rubbish here and then when I work out how to delete it I'll tell you!

    I can't even seem to add an attachment now! It just inserts straight as a picture but I think you click on edit, go to more options, then preview then there's a delete button that's greyed out next to the attachment.

    Click on edit at the bottom of your post and then on more options. The screen should show your attachment and just below the writing to the side of it if you click right near the right side it will delete. On my phone the writing doesn't actually show up because it's in white on a white background but if you click around the button is actually there somewhere

    I somehow did it instead of copying the Twitter link. I thought I'd got rid of it by abandoning 'create thread' and starting again, but it still sent it.

    It does that. If you start creating a thread but then leave it keeps a draft of what you started and when you go back later it's still there.

    Here is the option in the other 'skin' or theme so just imagine it in roughly the same place in the thene that you use (the red one) Screenshot_2017-10-01-21-28-55.png

    Supertyke you are indeed a superstar. It was miles over to the right on my screen. All I kept doing at first was adding more of the buggers.
