Running Version 3.4.03 with Access database.
I have a 'privacy issue' for a user and need to delete all their posts. To prevent further issues for this user, I have renamed their account, locked it out, and deleted their personal information.
Question:
What is the best way to delete all posts (current and archived) for the account?
Should I take the forum offline, manualy edit the database locally and re-upload the database, or does somebody have a better idea?
Many thanks in advance...of course, good information is always rewarded with a donation.
My appologies if this has been answered already, but my searches did not come up with the results I was looking for. This is a time sensative request, to protect the user identity (and keep the integrity) of my forum -- big surprise, eh?

 Whoa, pardner.
That little mod deleted every post in the category, and that was not what I was looking for.
Anybody else have a better idea? |

| In the description it says 'can remove all posts by a specific member' and 'can remove all posts in a forum' - Maybe you clicked the wrong option? |

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.
The script worked great  and removed all topics. The count script never completed properly, but that could be due to the MODs in place.
In any event, thanks much for your help. Please advise on where the donation should be directed. |

Okay, if there is no advice on donations by 11/24, then I'll make a general donation to this board for hosting costs.

It has never let me down, regardless of my own stupidity at times... |
