Ok, This is whats going on. I have a crap load of random users signing up daily. None of them are active because the email address are bogus. I have hundreds of these users on my site. In the Manage users section is where i am really starting to regret buying this software.

We have real users mixed in with the spammers that are not active. It is taking me for ever to delete these spammers off the site because when you leave the first page of users to delete or change anything, as soon as you click "ok" it refreshes back to the main user page in the default view on page 1. If i do a search of email address to display the spammers, it will show them all, but again as soon as i click the delete button it refreshes the page back to the default view on page 1.

I am pulling my hair out over this. Surely there is an easier way to delete these users?

In the Admin Area, there is a link for Batch Delete Members.

According to the options, you can delete all members who have never posted, signed up within a certain amount of time and not activated their account.

This should do exactly what you want. However I have never used it my self, but I can check later to see what it does.

Thanks - I've just come here for the exact same reason!

I was looking for checkboxes next to the usernames so I could click a load of them and then do a bulk delete.
