Title: Delete a users posts
Post by: oziboy on April 27, 2013, 10:08:44 PM
Something a bit too time consuming my way, so I need to ask for help

My actively posting Moderator has deleted herself from my forum and I'd like to clean out her posts (She shows as a Guest now), a lot of which are starting posts in a thread. Is there an easier way to remove these posts than to track down individual posts which is very time consuming. The reason for deleting is that she is likely to ask for them to be deleted at a later date, so I'm getting it sorted now.

Anyone know?

Use Admin > Maintenance > Topics to reattribute them to a new account, then delete the account - there's an option in there to delete all the posts attached to that account.
