Greetings.
How does one go about resetting the forums and starting from scratch but keeping the structure in place? Is it just a matter of deleting all threads and renaming topics? And attachments, are they just to be deleted? Or is there a click option that performs the whole operation in one action? Thanks all. ![]() |

The one operation would be to re-install the database to new, but keeping the structure is the long way and requires you delete all posts manually.

You can prune all threads and users very easily. Update counters when done under maintenance.

Cheers all.
I will do the pruning option. Eventhough there aren't that many, deleting posts manually doesn't thrill me too much. |

While pruning threads, attachments will be cleared as well. |

As above.
I want to make a completely fresh start at some point and that means wiping the whole board. Cheers all. |

Honestly, if you want to do it cleanly, just wipe the database and start really fresh. it is not clear at all what you mean by "keeping the structure". What strucutre?

A new DB. Would that not mean I lose the structure? (by structure I mean the way it is set up, permissions, promotions, all the fiddly bits, groups etc) Topics and threads will find their way back eventually but all the other things going on behind, I don't want to be setting that lot up again.
