Who can delete task comments?
Only Project Managers and Administrators can delete task comments.

When looking at the list of assigned users, there are no checkboxes. Why?
As a Normal user, you do not have sufficient access rights to assign/un-assign users on that task.
Can I move a task to another project?
Yes. In any task list page, click on the Summary link to open the task you want to move. The Move/Copy option will be located in the right pane. Just follow instructions thereafter.

AceProject uses the lighted (or yellow) star to represent a marked task. A non-lighted star represents an unmarked task. You may mark or unmark a task by clicking on this star. Marking a task makes it easier for you to locate it throughout the interface.
