Clear the board you use as "recylce bin" at once!

[Chriss Cohn]

Hi, when you specify a certain board in your forum as the place where all the deleted posts/topics are going, and you don't do a cleanup every few days, it could happen very quickly that you could have some hundred things to delete there.
So a button in the "button-strip" where the "merge topic" and all that other stuff is, would be great to delete the whole topics/messages in the board at once!

Personally I'd be worried of accidentally clicking it.

Right, there "could" be something like a "double-check" via popup, where you have to confirm it two times if you absolutely sure.

Why not just turn on quick moderation? You can delete a whole page of topics quite easily that way.

No solution, quick-mod is already on..... im talking if i have around 20-25 pages full of topics to delete.........

There's an easier way (if you don't mind keeping the post count)

Forum Maintenance - Remove Old Posts -> set it to 1 day (this is what I do) then Choose Specific Boards -> select "Recycler" or whatever you named your recycler board.

It will remove all posts from that particular board no matter how many pages of deleted posts are there.

The post count is already negated once when the post is moved to the recycled board.
