Issue: Unable to delete blog drafts

[Salzorrah]

I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet, but when I try to delete a blog draft, it would redirect me to the Access Denied page. Tbh, I think you should be able to physically delete your own blog drafts or blog entries. Just checking if my permissions for it are off, or if this is an oversight, or an overhaul of the system?

I experienced this the other day as well. When I tick the "Physically Remove Message" option and click "Delete," it leads me towards an Access Denied page. I think the problem is that it has "Physically Remove Message" rather than "Delete this message" which is what non-draft blog posts have.

I've had the same issue. Usually what I do is just edit the draft into a future entry, but it can get annoying from time to time.

That's weird, because theoretically there shouldn't be anything stopping you. Are you able to delete non-draft blog posts? It may be some poor code in vBulletin that we ought to fix.

On the topic of permanently removing posts, we don't want members directly deleting stuff from the database. If there's any particular reason why something needs to be removed though, let us know. (You probably shouldn't be posting such things in the first place.)

I know it works with blog posts, but not with blog drafts :x

Works fine for me on my test account.

Blogs -> Your Blog -> Checkbox at the bottom-left of the draft you want to delete -> Moderation (at the bottom-right of the page) -> Delete Blog Entry

Looks like you can't delete it from within the entry itself though, which is a pain.
