delete all threads with CERTAIN word in URL

[Lynne]

I don't know what else to suggest. As I said, it worked just fine for me. If I try to go to the old thread, it gives me a "No Thread Specified....." error which is the correct error to show. Same with trying to go to the now deleted posts.

Have you tried actually just deleting one thread as a test that only has a few posts that you have written the id down of. Then, after deleting the thread, remove orphan posts and on the screen it should say the postids it is removing. Then, check and see if they are gone from the database. Then try to view the thread in the browser window.

And it isn't ophan threads you need to run, but orphan posts. You may also have to rebuild thread information and forum information after you are done.
