Is it possible to delete all User Profile Photos and Avatars of banned and long inactive users?

Hi Wayne.

The thing is: I set up vBulletin following the exact instructions. Your instructions. To the dot! Then it was working perfectly. Then an update messed up things.

Thanks Saeed.

In the meanwhile, the problem is unbearable. Check here.

vBulletin has grown into a very buggy software and you are left alone to deal with it.

Dear Saeed, I am so pissed off by vBulletin, I cannot tell you.

I wish I had used some other software back then. I have paid for it twice (v. 3 and v. 4) and I'm stuck with buggy software,...

Hi Saeed and thanks for trying to help. Usually I am very reluctant to follow any other's instructions that the staff's. Of course, now that I am practically left alone, in a problem caused by the software...

But why has it been working well and got messed after an update, all by itself?

Thanks for all the info, Mark. Any info of how to do that and recover the old behavior?...

[dimitrios]

I see. I suppose they'll stay as they are, then. Thanks

[dimitrios]

hm.. I see. So, one possible way would be to do it directly edit the DB and execute the right SQL statement?

[dimitrios]

I search the net but I can't find any info on this. Matter of fact, the only relevant google result I came across was... this post.

Any advice?

Indeed, Mark. I meant "register". Sorry for that.

(I edited the 1st post, I can't seem to edit the title, though)

[dimitrios]

The problem remains. Any ideas?

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to delete all User Profile Photos?

Also, is it possible to delete the avatars of a specific collection of users? Like users that are long now inactive...

[dimitrios]

A couple of things seem to be wrong, after updating to 4.2.5

I had a couple of "Illegal User Names" at admincp > settings > user registration options

and they...
