Deleting posts during a session?

I was wondering if it's possible for the Gm to delete posts during a game session? Sometimes when playing I need to whisper something to a player, or delete/change an NPC response because of something another player said while I was typing it. Is there a button for this? If not could we get this added as a feature. (Having it as a player would be great too, perhaps with a 2 min timer cut off for editing/deleting a post, and with the Gm able to still see the original deleted/unedited post in a archive file if they want to.)

There is no means to edit or delete a specific chat message. The GM is capable of clearing the entire chat archive, but I'm not certain what effect that would have on the chat for people actively in the VTT. If you want to suggest the feature, there's a suggestions forum at the bottom of the board.

Somewhat of a workaround with PowerCards : !power {{ --titlefontsize|0px --title| --corners|0 --border|none --bgcolor|transparent --boxshadow|0px ?{Lines to obscure|1, -55px 0px 6px|2, -75px 0px 12px|3, -85px 0px 24px} #D3E5F5 }}
Thanks for the replies, much appreciated!
