MaplePrimes: File Manager confused about what I uploaded

My system crashed this morning just as I was finishing a post to a forum. The post didn't make it to the forum, but after I got back online, when I tried to recreate the post and upload the file, the File Manager would say that I had uploaded a different file and give me the link to that one. If anyone wants more details, just ask.

I'd like to be able to delete some files that I uploaded that are not used (as a result of the problem above).

Set as private

 You cannot delete files from the file manager. However, you can mark them as private so that no one can see them.

Simply go to the file manager at http://www.mapleprimes.com/filemanager and click on "Set private" for the files you wish to hide.

I don't know how the file manager could upload the wrong file, my guess is that you selected the wrong file to upload. Were you able to get the right file uploaded?

MaplePrimes: File Manager confused about what I uploaded

I was able to get the correct files uploaded, thanks, but only in a sense, which is why I tried to delete a file. Here is what happened.

I was near the end of an edit session. I had uploaded two files for the message, A and B, when something went amiss. I was left with an empty message box and no clue to what happened. Sooo, I tried again to create the message - several times. Each time I got to the point where I tried to upload A, I got a doalig that said that I had successfully uploaded B and provided a link to it. I closed the browser and re-logged in to try again. Did this several times with the same effect.

Finally logged out, shut down my system to clear any caches, and rebooted. Figured that ought to do it. Not so. I eventually was successful by saving a new version of A and uploading that and gettng a good link to it. Then I renamed B, uploaded it, and got a good link to it. In such a fashion, I was able to finish the post.

I wrote another post with a link to A-original, but saw no further use for B-original, so looked for a way to delete it. Seems to me that I ought to have that ability.

Now for two asides:

It appears that there is no spell checker?

How can I edit one of my posts rather than reply to my own post?

How do I get a line over my name in the sig? My attempt is shown below. The answer will apply to several lines that I'd like to have show up in succession...I looked for Help or tutorial on how to use this system and missed it...thanks...
