To make that a little more clear, goto your listed scores, select the "edit" link for one of your scores, change the score to "deleted" and enter it and your score will be removed.

At least I think that's it.

then you are saying after clicking the "edit" link for a score you just change the game name to "deleted"?!?!?

I showed that you didn't explain it clearly enough myself.

I figured when you edit a score you can't change the short-name for it cuz it's already associated with a particular game....so I was figuring you edit the score to that.

In checking I see you can actually edit the game name.

I guess that also comes in handy when game rom set short names are changed with MAME updates...so you can actually just reassign it to the new name.

So assigning it to "deleted" removes the score ehh?

Does it actually also delete the inp file, or is it still there but just not on the scoreboard?

That's exactly what I said.

You only showed that it wasn't clear enough for you. My post was made at 12:35 GMT. Now let's take a look at the up page:

My post was clear enough for Zelikazi.

If that was the case I would've said "edit -> score: -> deleted" and not "edit -> short name: -> deleted".

Next time check before assuming.

Still on the server.
