What kind of issues one should expect when deleting a member with replies? I have seen somewhere this is not recommended, but there was no further explanation as to what happens.
Thanks<

Mostly you lose the context for the post. If you have a topic with two deleted members contributing, how do you know who said what and if there were 1, 2, or 3 people talking?

Really it comes down to why are you deleting the member? If you don't want them around then lock them. If they are not around just let it be. You're not going to get a significant percentage of your space back by deleting them.<

The posts are retrieved with an INNER JOIN. If there is no author member, the posts will not be retrieved! It's that simple!<

Thanks guys
I usually don't delete a member with topics or replies. One of admins today deleted a member and that is why I was wondering.
So, what I did for now was to comment out the portion of the code that shows the delete icon in members.asp.

Using the icon raises no issues, because the member is not deleted from the DB. Some data is removed and his name is changed to 'n/a', but there is a database record to be retrieved, so no data loss occurs.
The problems occur if you delete a member directly in the database, or using mod setup, for example.<
