Hi.  I need to remove some posts made by an inactive member from certain areas of the forum, how can I do this without removing all of his posts?

Hello 1NewbHoster,

Thank you for contacting us about deleting posts. The steps really depend on how you built your forum. With most software, you should be able to take control of the account then manually delete the posts.  A common way to accomplish this is to change the email address in the database then request a password reset via email. 

In some cases, you may have to delete the posts directly from the database.

Thank you,
