UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads Version 7/8 Support How to erase user database?

How do I delete every member please but retain my login details as I guess I'd be locked out in doing so?

Thankyou.

Not sure why you want to do that but you could just
close your forums and then you as Admin would only have access

Not the full answer i know but a solution.

That's just closing up the board, I think ThreadsUser wants to do a complete whipe of the userdatabase.

What do you want to do with existing posts?

If you want to clear up your board to a full new reset, you could drop all your database tables and run install/createtable.php. This would recreate the tables and allows you to add your admin account again.

Be sure to save all your customized styles before you do that.

depending on size of your forum, the safest route would likely be to do any deletions via the member management section in the control panel (as you can delete from the user list screen), you'd delete everyone but the users you wish to keep and you won't have to worry about accidently removing the user#1 (placeholer user)

Thanks for the replies. All the old posts are gone, I just need to restart the database

Then drop all the tables, and use that createtable thing I mentioned! It will also recreate your account, but you are pretty sure you won't leave any traces of old stuff that might get in the way.

Yeh, if that's the case, do as yarp says, as it's basically what we do during beta testing to start from a clean slate
