UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic [Archived] UBB.classic Bugs [NOTABUG] Unable to prune after deleting profile

Version 6.4.0.1 (disregard if this is "fixed" in 6.5, I haven't had the chance to upgrade yet).

One of the prune options allows you to delete posts based on registered member number. This is great so long as you do it before you delete the user's profile. I recently did it in the reverse order (deleted profile then when to prune their posts) and encountered an error because apparantly their number no longer existed. Now I know to delete their posts before I delete their profile, but the reverse should still work too shouldn't it?

When you delete a user, you also delete the user's post history file. Without that file, the prune tool can't find posts to delete. This is the designed behavior.

IC... gotta delete posts first, then delete profile... I got it, thanks <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So then a suggested feature would be the option to delete all of the users posts (checkbox) when you go to delete their profile <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That would help prevent my dumb arse from doing that again lol.
