    Remove Orphan Threads / Posts ?

    What does both the options do technically ?

    This function removes all threads / posts that belong to forums that no longer exist.
    If a thread or post does not belongs to any forum, where does it gets stored and how/why ? Just to clarify myself on this.

    (Was unable to decide where to place this thread, since this is a general vbulletin 3.x question, posting this thread in Lang. and Phrases, please move it to appropriate place in case needed)

    These should rarely need to be used.
    If a forum is manually deleted from the database, or something fails while deleting it from the admincp, this will remove the threads in it later on.

    Same thing with posts.

        Soft deleted threads don't generate orphaned posts.
        You can prune soft deleted threads in your
        AdminCP -> Threads & Posts -> Prune
