Deleting vBulletin Posts

    I am having a bit of a trouble deleting posts title from my vBulleting forum. Some idiot posted some stupid stuff and i Pruned all posts under that username from the backend. Now the problem is, all the post titles still exist in the forum.

    How can I delete those? Can anyone help please?

    you can delete all post by users a number of ways
    you can click this link on his profile that says "view all post by X"
    if you are using 3.7, you delete all post and ban him in one click
    and I think you can delete the post in the acp under users

    regards

    In your Admin Control Panel, Go to: >> Maintenance >> Update Counters >> Rebuild Thread Information

    That would fix it.

    I deleted his profile and deleted the user as well. Still the same.

    If you click on those posts then the following msg is shown:

    "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

    I tried "Rebuild Thread Information" but those posts are still there. I mean the title of the posts are still visible.

    And I can't even delete them from the frontend because no threads are found except the title.

    Driving me nuts now.

    Try to log out and visit the forum as a visitor. You may be seen it because you did not physically deleted it and logged as administrator you are able to see it.

    tell me your forum address to visit it and tell me the title of one of the threads that you say you want to delete to see if I can see it.;)

    Mike.

    I tried that. I can see it from different computers. This is the Forum.

    The title of the thread is "Federal Government Free..." under "iPhone Software". He's got few of them. And username "Snandidaylg".

    This is all what I can see from my computer. Can you see what you don't want to see?

    Hi Mike,
    This is what I am talking about. That thread you mentioned doesn't have any post in question.

    You need to update your counters (posts and threads)
