In the Excel Questions forum I replied to a post, thanking that individual for a solution, but my reply appeared under someone else’s post later in the thread. When the cursor hovered over the Edit button at the bottom of my reply, it said “Edit/Delete”, but when I clicked it, I did not see an option to delete. Can anyone explain what happened?

The posts are listed in ascending order, by time. What many people do to show that they are replying to a specific post is to quote that post in their reply (just like I did here).

You only have a 10 minute window in which to edit/delete a post.
 
You can can only delete your own posts once you are awarded MVP status, up to board regular level you can only Edit posts.

Thanks for making it clear.
 
Also note that posts appear in a thread simply in the order in which they were posted, unless you switch to a threaded display mode.
