Well for Visitor Messages, you can go to the User's Profile in the Admin CP and select "Delete all Visitor Messages sent by user" of the Quick User Tools Menu.

I hope you integrated some PM attachments system in vB 4.0 because that is really necessary

Hi Wayne Luke, thank you for the response in trying to resolve the dilemma we are having. The comment is helpful and very much appreciated.

Even though one has to login through the AdminCP, the Administrator still has to go to each individual profile and do a delete of all messages. Site Administrators do not have 10 users they can quickly go and delete, but hundreds, thousands, or tens-of-thousands of users you would have to go and individual delete Visitor Messages.

I do not think any of us want to delete all of them. The solution we are seeking is trimming back 20-100 most recent visitor messages, for example. :up:


This reply might help clarify what is being requested.

Yeah, that is a completely different suggestion than what I quoted which is why I quoted that portion only.

Personally, I see no need to limit visitor messages. They take up very little disk space and use very little bandwidth. However it would be easy for a programmer to create a simple cron job to plug into vBulletin. That is why the scheduled tasks system is modular and expandable.

Will it be possible for Vbulletin4 to be able to send visitor messages to contacts/friends only, all in one go?

Instead of going into each individual profile and writing a message.

Or is this more of mod/hack thing??

[Marco van Herwaarden]

For such questions please post on vB.com.
