 Topic: Deleting Members
Posted: 24 August 2003 at 7:36am |
Ok, I'm sure this has been covered, but I don't know the answer...
If a member is deleted, are all their posts also deleted?

No, the posts are displayed as being made by a guest.

This might sound strange, but I couldn't find how to delete a member. I log-on as the Administrator, but cannot find this anywhere.
Can you help?
thx

Open their profile, click the 'Edit Profile' button down the bottom, then, when you are editing their profile, click the 'Delete Member' box at the bottom of the page.

If the reason why you are deleting that person is you are banning them, you might want to do this:
Another way to solve the problem is to create a banned or inactive or unregistered group with no permissions. I prefer calling it unregistered. Then just assign that user to that group. This would prevent someone from re-registering under the banned name and would preserve the username and keep it associated with previous posts made by that account. I would rather do it that way since I don't want all his posts to be converted to "Guest."
