Hi,
I had a member join my forum and made this post
https://forum.melangecounselling.com/index.php?topic=15.0
As you can see Id like to remove the post. However despite trying to delete each post by them as admin. I get error message;
" An error has occurred" If you want to remove this topic click on remove link OR as admin to do it for you.
I banned IP and user but cant seem to delete their posts?
Thanks
Have you tried to un-ban the user and delete his posts first, before you ban him again?
I think I have a bug in mind...
Can you delete only the second or third post?
You can't delete the first post of a topic, instead you can delete the whole topic since it's spam.
it's not a bug, it's how elkarte/smf works.
p.s. if you need to delete only the first post of a topic you need to split the topic from the second post and then delete the original topic which will contain only the first post.
This is a tangential thought. If you delete a member, you have the option to automatically delete their topics and/or posts. There's really no reason to retain spammer accounts. ;)
@mbtcompendium the error messages gives you the hint: you cannot delete the first message of a topic, you have to remove the entire topic.
The "remove" is at the bottom left of the the discussion, next to "move". ;)
Alternately .. you can split the topic ..
Here you can move all (exclude the first) Messages to a other (new) Topic.
There after you can remove the original Topic with the first Message ...
That's what radu already said.
