I have looked but for the life of me I cannot find out where to globally prune old posts (threads). The only thing I can find in the Admin Panel is where to prune threads one forum at a time where you have to click on each and every thread you want to delete. There MUST be another way? Please tell me there is... <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Control Panel -> Prune Topics (in 6.5)

In earlier versions, you're correct in how it's done. You also can configure the forum to auto-purge posts over X days. (You need to configure the doexpire.php cron job for this to work correctly.)

Joshpet - I cant find any "doexpire.php" but do have a doexpirethreads.php. Is this what you meant? (I run v 6.5.1). At any rate, as I put in another post, I can't get the threads to expire (and I did set up doexpirethreads as a cron job and it is running, just not expiring any threads. Help!

doexpire.php is in the ../cron/php directory. You'll have to set up a cron job to expire threads automatically. You can find out how to set up a cron job here:
