HA it appears that only the last post has button delete. I don't know what the intention behind that is.

If you're using v6 you can just download the database and look for the password on it.......if you're using v7 then you can create a new account with a password, then download the db and change the admin password for the one of the account you've just made (encrypted - using copy & paste), then try to login with the new password...

The reason for this is so that people don't go back and delete a pervious post once someone has replied to it, when people could do this it was found that people often did delete posts once someone had replied it then makes the whole topic rather startnge as people are replying to posts that have been deleted and so it doen't make sense.

are you SURE that will work? since i used that "Convert Database" thing, and i had a couple accounts with the same password and they were all encrypted differently so i dunno if that would work but couldnt you change the level of the new account, making it become a Admin Account, then delete the old one?
