Hi.
I couldnt delete topics that has over 1000 messages. Im getting the error below;

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'

Script timed out

/forum/delete_topic.asp

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

How can i delete this "huge" topics?

The server is timing out because it is taking to long to delete such a large amount.

Just keep re-running the topic delete till all the posts in the topic are deleted.
