Very nice - I suppose you can disable the automatic cron job via AdminCP and only run whenever you want to manually delete all PMs?

This is what I did. Works great. Nice product. installed

Q: Putting ZERO days at "Prune PMs X days" field of the usergroup settings, Does it disable the mod for a usergroup.


Thanks

Thanks

You are welcome :up:
Yes, putting "0" days at the "Prune PMs X days" field of the usergroup permissions should disable the mod for this usergroup.
