Hi,

If you select "Delete All messages by this user" from the User Adminstration System, you always get 0 topics and 0 messages back. Changing "Topics with last post made" to a larger value doesn't help either.

You are about to delete 0 topics containing 0 messages, which were posted before posted by "naudefj"from all forums (what a strange message - looks like the time interval is missing!)

Best regards.

Frank

More info - the above problem only occurs when a date earlier than 36 years ago is selected.

Also, the further you go back in time, the fewer messages are selected for deletion.

Best Regards.

No bug here.

1) When you go to a dat before 36 years you get a date <1970, unix timestamps do not support dates earlier then that.

2) When you want to delete all messages by a user you need to specify the SMALLEST possible value Ex. 0.00001. Since the logic will only mark messages for deletion when the message post date is older then the current time - specified value * date unit.

Apologies for the false alarm. I was under the impression that an earlier date would be better. Nevertheless, if you do find a spare moment, consider the following:

1. Update the documentation to describe the "Delete All messages by this user" functionality.

2. Modify the script to fix dates earlier than 1970 to 1970.

Best regards.
