Deleted thread still appearing on forum index
 

Hello

One nasty spammer registered and posted 2 threads.I banned and deleted him & his threads but they are still appearing on the board index.How to remove them ?

Regards

AdminCP - maintenance - rebuild thread titles

I think.

Did you delete them or soft-delete them?

I found Remove Orphan Threads but nothing such as rebuild thread titles.I am using latest vbulletin release...

Edit : I am not sure what is the difference between soft delete and normal delete ?? :)

Soft-delete allows you to restore later... admins can still see thread....

Permenant delete removes it completely (AFAIK)

did you try the "rebuild thread titles" ?

Hm I think that something weird happened because I as admin see them and when I log off,clear the cookies and etc I still see them but when I click to check out the thread I get error message that thread doesn't exist...Can you tell me how to "destroy" this spam permanently

Edit : I didn't found this option rebuild thread titles ... AdminCP - maintenance - update counters --> and here nothing ... I tried Remove Orphan Threads and posts.

did you read my last post? :)

Yes I did :)

AdminCP - maintenance - update counters --> and nothing such as "rebuild thread titles" ?

Two options :

1) I am "blind"
2) Something else is not okay

His point was they're most likely soft-deleted, which it sounds like they are since you can see them when logged in but not when you're logged off. To perma-delete spam instead of soft-deleting it, use "Delete as Spam" as normal and under "Deletion Options" make sure "Physically Remove" is selected instead of "Soft-Delete." This will remove the thread entirely from your site.
