I'd love this as well - it's nice to be able to delete all my for sale threads after 90 days, but it would be nicer to delete them when they've not had a reply in 30 days

I was trying to rebuil all the whole system, but taking in cout the many request you are writing, perhaps I should focus on them.

I think it could work properly in 3.8.X, but I didn't test it.

Did you get any error?

[gocreate]

There is a small error in script:

PHP Code:


    $fromdelete = $vbulletin->options['forudelete']; 


Schould be:

PHP Code:

$fromdelete = $vbulletin->options['forumdelete'];

Thanks gocreate! I'm going to fix it.

[Seductor]
