deleting 500 posts of spam user
 

When i try to delete the posts of a spam user if it is more than 50 it tells me to go to control panel

i dont want to do it as it takes time, so how and where can i modify this 50 number to say 500? support told me to come to this forum to do that

FYI note: when i asked this to support, they told me to go to control panel first but then they said there is a bug and it can not be done in control panel and i must go to user about page and delete all his posts from front end 25 each time max, which is very time consuming if there is a lovely spam bot which posted 500 posts

all i want to know is how to change to 50 to 500

thanks but i am not interested in any mods etc....

which file which folder, which line exactly, must i go to change 50 to 500?

Check /inlinemod.php around line 1083 and 1364, look for
and
And change the numbers.
Just keep in mind vBulletin had its reasons for limiting it to 50.

thanks
what kind of reasons?

It's a server intensive process. You could lock up the server or database.

And some servers will give you an error if you try to delete more than 1000 at a time.
