    Select the profile pin in the list above by checking the box and drag the profile pin in the window below then pass your mouse cursor over it you'll see the option to delete or just press the delete key on your keyboard to delete it.

    That just seems to delete it from the web page. I'm looking to completely delete previously uploaded pins. For example, if I update a pin and want to upload it I need to name it something completely different because I can't have two profiles uploaded named "Guild Wars 2". One is "Guild Wars 2" another would need to be "Guild Wars 2(2)", another would need to be "Guild Wars 2(3) and so on. How do I delete, say, "Guild Wars 2" and "Guild Wars 2(2)" so that "Guild Wars 2(3) could be renamed to just "Guild Wars 2" and uploaded as my only available pin? Hopefully that made sense.

    Normally if you have a profile with the same name it will overwrite the older one and replace with the new. But if you want to place two profiles with the same then you'd need to add an extra...Guild Wars 2 (B) something like that.

    I didn't know about the overwriting. Other than that there is no way to delete them?

    I cannot see your profiles only you can, likewise myself so I'm taking it from the way I see mine and doing it the way I first described. If you look at the picture below you'd get a better understanding. I don't think I can help you on that issue anymore if you don't understand.

    I guess I just don't understand. In the above picture I have three Diablo 3 profiles, I'm trying to delete the oldest two of them from the "Home" area so as you describe it I should drag them to the "Attachments" area, click the X, and confirm that I want to delete it. This method just deletes it from the "Attachment" area, not the "Home" area.

    Hi Todd, the way vbulletin4 works, regular users cannot permanently delete an attachment, they can just remove them as "attachments" on the threads... but they remain in case the user wants to put it back one day. At least that appears to be the way it works... so you will continue to see it on "home" unless an admin deletes it. If you tell us exactly which you want to delete, then we can do that for you... but I don't want to accidentally delete the wrong ones.

    Is it the 2 that I have circled in your screenshot that you want deleted?

    Todd, I have been looking at the backend and I only see 1 copy of "Diablo III by toddmd.pin" and I do not see "Diable III.pin" under your name at all...

    This has me wondering if maybe they HAVE BEEN removed since you took that screenshot... perhaps due to the fact that it says "Uploads not utilized within 1 hour will be deleted"...

    Can you take another screenshot of what you have now and post that... I'm trying to figure this out
