Hello,
I've recently started a vB forum using a pre-existing database. That database contained many inactive members. One of my first tasks was to prune that database of these members. I recently installed a mod to show all albums, and this has revealed that the albums from the deleted members are still in my database with no owner (thumbnails presented, along with image count: Link - Login: TestUser2 - PW: vbhelp). These albums cannot be accessed. A review of my FTP server shows that I have thousands of orphaned images in my 'images/albums/' folder, and matching thumbnails in my 'images/albums/thumbnails' folder.
My question is not about the mod. I know where to find that support. My questions is, how do I get those old albums out of my database. I can find and delete the images from the FTP, but I need to get these out of the database too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
