Title says it all. Whenever i try to delete a post the site gives me a messages something along the lines of: “The requested URL source couldn’t be found”

Sometimes refreshing and trying again eventually works, but it is problematic for me too.

Same here, looks like Discourse is having a seizure.  
Jokes aside, what I gather from the error message is that Discourse cannot make the request to remove a post because it doesn’t exist. Now, this probably had a different way of being handled before so I think Discourse might have had some under the hood reworks and now it’s broken.

TL;DR - Unfortunately this is a Discourse issue, not a MakeCode issue so we kind of have to wait for them to resolve it internally 😕
