UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support How can I delete all posts in a forum, without deleting the forum?

Is there a way for me to delete all threads in a forum, yet leave the forum active? I know I can open each thread and delete each one, but that is a MAJOR PITA.

I have a "test" forum, where users can test out UBB and HTML code, I would like to clean it out every once and a while. I don't want to archive the posts, as they are worthless.

Any tips?

You can delete all the numbered cgi files in that particular forum directory via FTP, then run the maintenance dropdown - bottom to top. That should take care of it for you.

Why not just use the prune posts feature and prune posts older than x days in that forum.

There's no reason, though the FTP method is probably a little less cgi server intensive. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
