Delete all U2U's at once? Admin - Fozzie - ChrisW?

McLannahan - 28/10/10 at 08:08 PM

I have quite a few U2's, well so many that I can no longer send. I know I can delete one by one but with so many to select it takes so long! I know I can use the keyboard "Tab, space" etc...but there's loads to do.

I know there is an admin function to purge U2's but not sure if this applies to a selected user or currently logged in user. Is it possible to have all my U2's deleted so I can start afresh again?

Thanks "Team Admin"!

same here, ive got hundreds going back to 2005

Just click on the little box to the left of each message. Which is basically selecting more than one u2u and then hit delete after they are selected.

That way your only hitting delete once

Or is that what your talking about anyway? It's not that slow just to select them all

Thanks Ben but like Joel I have hundreds nay thousands.....

That still means ticking 1000 boxes or doing millions of "Space - Tab - Tab - Space - Tab......"

There is/MUST be a quicker way!

Bit of html trickery and I just did it

open the following url:

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/u2u.php

Save the html source to your desktop

Open in notepad

Do a search and replace on the following string

input type="checkbox"
input type="checkbox" checked

Replace all

Now do a search and replace on the following string:

u2u.php
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/u2u.php

Replace all

Save

Open in browser

They should all be ticked

Click Submit

All gone.

Thanks Steve - Used your method successfully. I'm pretty sure there's an admin function for this too - looking through the XMB pages the function seems to be listed. Was hoping Admin could either enable this or do it from the SuperAdmin accounts.

Thanks again Steve
