How can I delete another user's blog?

The actual issue is that a user created a blog, then wanted to change something, and clicked the back button, made the correction, and then updated again.  Now there are two blogs with the same name, and the user can not update, edit, or delete either of them.  They are getting an error on the blog "New_Blog" module, where they should be able to get into their settings and delete it.  I have logged in as host, but can't find any options to delete one or both or their blogs.

I actually did that on my laptop in a presentation the other evening. I haven't tried to delete it yet, but you might be able to go into the database and delete one of the blog records to get the other one working.

Hi Jacob,

this is a common issue, and it will repeat until we find a good way to handle the "back button" in browsers. To quickly solve the problem, visit this post, you'll find detailed instructions on how to delete the duplicated blog. As always, feel free to come back to this forum if you encounter any difficulties, and we'll be glad to help you.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

...until we find a good way to handle the "back button" in browsers...

Can't it be programmed to check if the user has a blog before creating one?  Then spit back an error that states: "You already have a blog!  If you are trying to change the settings, please use the change settings link below..."

Is this an issue I should report as a bug?  Because it sounds like it would be easy to avoid in the programming...

Hi Jacob,

this was an option we where considering. I don't think it might be hard to implement in the code.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa
