The deletion of old visitor messages from day X automatically?

[OturanBoğa]

I can delete previously deleted old visitor messages completely through Deluxe Delete Soft Deleted when I want. Is there any way that I can delete old visitor messages from day X in a similar manner ?

You want to delete ALL visitor messages older than x days? You may want to just write a cron job/scheduled task to do that. I don't know of any default vbulletin method to do that automatically.

yes, I would like to delete all of the visitor messages that are older than X days. How can I do this with vbulletin's cron job/scheduled task?

[Lynne]

You would just create a page with the query and put the page in the /cron directory and then create a Scheduled Task to run it. I don't like writing queries, but I don't mind checking over queries written by others. So, post your query and I'm sure we can review it for you.

With 20 thousand members, I receive thousands of visitor messages. Considering that mine is not the only forum with 20 thousand members and that nobody else is making a problem out of it (or trying to find a solution to it), maybe I can ignore this situation as well. Thank you
