That is what i originally had and it was not working. That's why I looked up the private.php method, and it seemed to take a few more steps than what i really needed, but I did a copy anyways and it still wasn't working. I triple checked my syntax and found the error in my template. I still cannot believe i did not find this after my first check before posting this thread, but hopefully it will help someone else.
Much thanks Sherif
Apparently the template was:
Code:
<input type="checkbox" name="del[{vb:raw list.id}]" id="del[{vb:raw list.id}]" value="{vb:raw list.id}" />
Instead of:
Code:
<input type="checkbox" name="del_id[{vb:raw list.id}]" id="del_id[{vb:raw list.id}]" value="{vb:raw list.id}" />
