Anyone have any bright ideas on how to delete multiple copies of multiple posts? ...or better yet... just like the 'delete old posts'... is there a way to 'delete all NEW posts' after a certain date. So you'd be able to clear all messages from a particular Forum and leave them only up to.. a particluar date.

Any ideas?

Otherwise I'm going to have to go in and delete 25 some copies of 300+ messages each, that the mailarc plugin has been apparently 'looping' and delivering to the Forum. The archive.pl apparently has been choking on anything over 10-20 messages at a time. The email account has 350 messages sitting there waitng to be snatched by the archive.pl program, but it's no longer pullling in mail. It seems to be duplicating posts, and incrementing post count totals, but they are not any new posts after 7/8/02. Just duplicate messages.

HELP!!!!!

Ok... an update... the last post date on the catagory view shows the correct up to date posting date. (todays date) with the proper author of that message. But go int othe Forum, the last post is July 8,2002 (not today 7/19/02) the pagination

goes up to 67 pages... no way.... up to like page 27 has posts and that's it.

HELP! cna the db be purged of posts AFTER a particular date?..leaving just the old stuff from before this mailarc failure?

I also got hte following error on screen during one such execution of the mailarc script (on screen)
