PS: Not works with 4.1.4

It has worked with me from 3.7 right through to 4.1.4. You're doing something wrong.

Yes it works 3.8.7 PL 2!!!! However, not by hand, but only via cron!

Sorry!!

[letsjoy]

So its fine with vb4.x ?
why not release official 4.x version than ?

[Fivestones]

Thanks a lot it will free up some space ..

[djbaxter]

Still works in vBulletin 4.x too if you change the XML product file so it doesn't limit you to 3.7.

[karabaja3]

great mod. thank you.

My pm database file was 1.4gigs Over the last 8 years it sure has filled up. Is this going to be able to handle deleting everything that is at least a year old with my size?

[smirkley]

I am currently testing this on my 4.2.0pl3 build, and so far so good.

I wish to change the third option from other than inbox & outbox, to both inbox AND outbox and no others.

The original code in the php file is:

			case '3':
				$pms_query_where_clouse .= " AND pm.folderid NOT IN (0, -1)";
				break;

Would I change the code in prunepms.php to:

			case '3':
				$pms_query_where_clouse .= " AND pm.folderid = (0, -1)";
				break;

I am not sure about the syntax, so if anyone has any input on this I would like that.
