Help Facebook won't let me delete posts

Facebook won't let me delete my post. I have had several phones and delete FB post but I just got this Galaxy s3 phone and it won't let me. I swipe to the right or left and nothing appears. I deleted my FB and loaded a new app but still can't.
 
I've never been able to delete posts on the default Facebook app on any android. only recently has the mobile site started supporting this. Maybe you had a modified HTC or sony version?
 
I don't have the three dots. My wife don't on her phone but can swipe to the right and gives her the option to delete but it won't show anything on my new phone.

The HTC facebook app is a HTC specific one so thats probably a feature added by them. "facebook for HTC sense"

I'm constantly upgrading my rom and every time I do, it takes me back a version. Its only on the latest versions these "3 dots" appear. So i updated my rom today and forgot about the 3 dots. Just updated to latest facebook app and theyre there. As mentioned, only on time line though. And only your main post, not any of your comments. You have to go to a browser for that.
 
I reset my phone and now I have the three dots! I want to thank everyone for all the help. I am new to this forum and I really like it!!!
 
Boo.

I want them to give us back our ability to delete "our comments" on peoples posts. It was removed some time ago; use to be able to swipe right and delete.

LOL relax of course you can.....sometimes it takes about 5 minutes for the DELETE option to appear...see my screenshot below

red arrow points to the 3 little dots...click on them and you will get the white box options where you can delete

have a great day :)

D'oh. Wish it was available for comments.
Alcohol, fb and lack of deletion=trouble lol.
Yeah the mobile site is best.. pity notifications cant be set to direct you to that instead of the app :(
