Hey guys, our forum was spammed pretty hard because i left guest access on. I now have a topic with 3,019 posts. Everytime i try to delete the topic, it errors out without a specific reason. Any help?
i'm running the latest version of YAF.

The easiest way is to delete it from the data base, if you have the access to it. ... But trust me on the sunscreen!

I have been trying to delete from the database, but because of all the linkage, I keep getting errors.
Is there any documentation on how to manually delete a topic from the YAF DB?
thanks!

Did you try the PRUNE TOPICS in the admin panel?
Select the forum to prune and set the date to delete the old posts.
With any valid topics you might want to put in a new post so it doesn't get deleted.
If it won't take out all the posts at once, try it one day at a time.
Say, older than 30 days, then 25, then 20 till you get to the lastest one.

Could you turn off CustomErrors and provide the exact error message you are receiving? "When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears”."
