Please note, that the first post is the same topic, so all tools to manage the topic are available in the first posts (sticky, close, delete topic with all posts, etc...).

Thanks anyway.

Simple enough when you know, but it's not very clear. And having the topic title tied to the first post is a bit of an odd programming decision.

So are you saying that deleting the first post in a topic deletes all posts and the topic?

 but it still doesn't give me that option within the front end of the forum...

why not? click on Delete – Deletes Topic with all replies permanently (no way to undo)

As the admin, I have full access with all options selected including delete topic but it still doesn't give me that option within the front end of the forum...

It's so un- user friendly to have to go elsewhere to do this. Such basic functionality!
