Do any of you delete your pings and if you do how do you do it.

If I wanted to delete some of my pings, how would I do it? I searched and searched and can't find out how.

There is a faded out "Delete" link next to each ping. I remove graphic pings after 24 hours.

What Heather said. Because the link is so light, it can be misleading. All Gather remove links are the same for removing friends, pings, group memberships, comments, etc.

Yup, right on your profile, delete til your heart goes ping.

Lee P. Dec 15, 2008, 11:43pm EST
Well, here I am, late again.
Mary C. Dec 16, 2008, 12:01am EST
Thanks, I didn't know there was a delete button for pings.

I have not deleted any pings yet.
Linda T. Dec 16, 2008, 1:10am EST
I haven't done any ping deleting yet either.
edna r. Dec 16, 2008, 5:10am EST
Glad you got your answer.
Maria W. Dec 16, 2008, 5:51am EST
Good, you got your answer, Carol. Myself, after i answer a ping, i will delete it to start over, lol.
I can say I've ever deleted anything here, except for comments where I mispelled too many words....but I usually copy and paste it back and fix my errs......
Carol B Dec 16, 2008, 8:08am EST
Thanks everyone, I didn't see any delete ping buttons, I am going back to check again.
Carol B Dec 16, 2008, 8:10am EST
Oh my gosh, I am certainly showing my age, there it is right in front of my face. I guess you have to do them one by one, not like boomer where you could delete them all at once? Kevin's article on privacy got me thinking maybe they shouldn't all be there.
Ok- here's a visual aid. This shows 2 pings from my page, with an arrow to the button (which, oops- says Remove Ping, not Delete!)

And yeah, you have to do them individually, instead of all at once.
Patricia J. Dec 16, 2008, 9:58am EST
I need to get around to deleting my pings I have a ton of them.

I delete them sometimes, but haven't in a while.
Nurse Nancy S. Dec 19, 2008, 1:06am EST
I never have, but I have tons of them. I guess some of the older ones, I should go ahead and delete.
Rachel W. Dec 19, 2008, 1:52pm EST
I didn't know this either, thanks everyone for the answer
Sandy (back in Ohio...blah!) Dec 19, 2008, 3:45pm EST
Just click on delete.
I do delete pings. But it is after I comment back to them.
Amy K. Dec 20, 2008, 2:31pm EST
It's under the icon.
Janell R. Dec 20, 2008, 2:39pm EST
Glad you got answers. Many. ;-)

Glad you asked the question, I hadn't thought to delete them yet, so I'll have to go through and weed out the ones I don't want to keep!

Paying it Forward...
