Thanks, I am the owner if the forum. Why don't I see delete for all message? I only see delete for mine. Did I some how mess up in the process of creating the forum? Do I need to click somewhere to log in or activate owner privileges?
I searched everywhere in the forum and in help and found squat. Sorry.
I'll study the mixed forum issue too. Thanks for that!

In my forums, it only allows me to permanently delete my own posts.
No similar option appears for other posts.
"Delete" is to permanently delete a post or forum. This option is only available to the owner of a post or forum. You can "remove" other people's posts from your forum, but "remove" is less severe than "delete" because the removed stuff still exist in the owner's account.

However, I tried that but if you search, those posts still appear in results.
Plus, they're still listed for me although not in any category.
The search result has a small time lag (usually 20 minutes), so if you remove a post from a forum, you may still see it in search result which should disappear in 20 minutes. If you continue to see it, please tell me and we will look into it.
And the removed posts will still appear under your account as it is your post.
By the way, I saw that your forum is using a "strange" format. It seems that you should be using the "mixed view" format, for info, refer to: http://n2.nabble.com/New-Forum-Format%3A-Mixed-tt1613570.html
