    I've got a question about unpublishing/deleting my saves(I don't need to delete anything now, but I'm asking because it's strange):
    Why can I delete my own saves only if i click "My Own" and then select the save I want to unpublish/delete?
    Because If i try to unpublish/delete one of my saves by clicking on "By Date" and then by selecting the save i wanna unpublish/delete, I can't. Is that so on purpose or is that a bug?

    this question isnt so much about deleting or unpublishing saves as it is about just a quirk, i think most people who want to delete a save would click on "my own" anyway.

     guess it is a bug. maybe they coded it the way that people can delete saves on 'my own' menu instead of making people delete their saves.

    It's mostly just an oversight / missing feature. When TPT was ported to c++, the ability to delete saves from anywhere was dropped (probably unintentionally), and it was never re-added because you could just go to "My Own" and do it.

    The main reason it was probably dropped is because the multi-select feature was added, so in order to delete one or many of your saves, it would have to check whether all of them are yours. Not hard to do .. but if you're being lazy, very easy to miss.

    I made a note in a todo list of mine to add this back. So after that you'll be able to delete and unpublish / publish from any screen, as long as the saves are yours.

     I never noticed this in all my years on this game. If ever used it, then again I was so young to notice, I am a airhead though.
