User delete comment option/module.

I decided to fly with the Drupal forum over interrogating phpBB or other forum. I did not realize the poster of a comment to a forum topic (any site content) can not delete there own comment once made. I just looked through support, docs and searched for a fix module and am coming up blank.

This might be a show stopper for running my forum under drupal core. It's a shame interrogation is not not full blown with the phpBB bridge unless you hack the code.

Any suggestion welcome.

Thanks, I looked into that and tried it on a test site. Nodecomment needs core comment module uninstalled. For me that means uninstall adv forum, forum, comments, and a few others. This broke a whole bunch of things along the way like a guest book. Then nodecomments does not work with the core forum, you have to use nodeforum which does not have a lot of use. Seems like to many site elements in a Drupal 5 Social Network site would break or need alot of reconfiguration to work.

IMO that's not worth it in order to give a poster the option to delete a comment. The only solutions I have is: the user can edit the comment and or ask admin or content owner to delete the unwanted comment.

Looks like I'm going to dive into phpBB integration again.
