Revision as of 20:45, 16 July 2014

Sometimes inappropriate posts will be made on a forum. Such posts could include inappropriate content or just be spam. There are two ways to delete posts:

Deleting Individual Posts

To delete posts one at a time, go to the post that is to be deleted and click on the button that says "Remove" located to the right of the title of each post. You can also remove an entire topic, including all of the replies, by going to the bottom of the topic and clicking on the "Remove Topic" button.

Deleting Multiple Posts

Before you are able to delete multiple posts at the same time, you will have to enable checkboxes. Follow the directions below to enable checkboxes.

Profile > Look and Layout Preferences

To the right of Show quick-moderation on message index as, you will see a drop-down box. Select the box and select on the option that says checkboxes. Now, go to the posts to be deleted and check the box in the upper-right hand corner of each post that you wish to delete. Upon checking the box on each individual post, scroll down to the bottom of the thread and select the button that says Delete Selected.
