So i now have admin status and i'd like to revive an old forum run with UBB 6.2 (which i understand to be a dinosaur).

The forum was largely unattended and unmonitored for some time. Now there are over 6,000 in the registration que!!! As you'd imagine mostly all spammers.

I don't think that the owner wants to upgrade. So other than starting a whole new forum i'm wondering if there's anything that can be done. Seems like i have a good bit of work ahead of me.

Is there a way of deleting the que and starting over???

Again, thanks for the help.

I looked in the 'Classic Documentation' section. But it doesn't seem to cover 6.2.0. Does anyone know of some resource that could help me?

again, thanks for the past help

EDIT: Oooops. I see in the above post that i'm asking the same question i did in April. A question which you guys already advised me on. Sorry about that.

I never used the registration queue in classic but there is a tool to delete them it would take a while deleting one page at a time though.
It is just a flat file system but sometimes you need to edit more than one file.

JAISP is still running a classic board maybe he will chime in with a shortcut.

Or Allen may remember how.

From a security perspective, you really should upgrade...

Giz, I challenge you to break into my classic board and mess it up.

Control Panel » Member Management » Registration Queue

Select "Decline All"

No thanks, just don't come running to me when it has been ...

BTW, not every security issue is a "server wide" problem, some simple things like the captcha and random crap...

LOL, Gizmo. I didn't think you could do it anyways.

JAISP,
Just for my own info. Classic has a delete all for the registration Queue? Or is it one page at a time to delete like I was thinking.

It is funny how you use something for 6 to 7 years, Then a year or two later can't seem to remember much about the differences after upgrading.

not saying it isn't possible, simply I don't have the time to go look up what was fixed, what caused issues, how it was done, etc... I'm going through a divorce and looking for a real job, last thing I need to do is exploit some ancient script for kicks...

Not to mention, honestly, i don't care, it's your server.
