display all threads and ban all users

[njoker555]

ok i have finally acquired the vb license and i have converted but i am having a few problems.

first - the member list was empty but i have fixed it - and how it says when a user tries to login, the user is banned - i have tested this out and figured out if i put someone on the ban list and remove them, he/she can login again.

how do i ban everyone on the forum at the same time or with little trouble? then unban them all?

second - i have lost about 2 months of data from my forum due to host screw up so there are a lot of posts not posted in the last 30 days, well thats what it says:

There have been no posts in the last 30 days in this forum.
Try using the controls below to search for any older posts that may exist.

i have gone to admin cp and in vbulletin options >> external data provider - i've put 365 days for the Thread Cutoff option but still gettng that message. I have also updated counters for threads and etc. but no luck.

help on these two matters would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
