Yeah, even when I build an iMacro to remove a single post based on a hard coded URL, oooforum is so slow, that it fails to respond in 60 seconds after saying yes, remove that like I asked and then the macro itself stops running. I set the timeout to 10 minutes, will see if that is sufficient.

For the record, you could do this also on our forums at https://forum.openoffice.org/en/ This will give you a fast server to work on until oooforum is back in shape. Trying to delete your own post could do the trick enough to test it. On 9/3/14, Alexandro Colorado j...@oooes.org wrote: I agree,

The next version of the forum software used by oooforum supports deleting all posts by the user. Also, there is an add-on for the version 2 (I think) that also supports this. The official forum runs great, no need to test there. It is sufficiently moderated that there are no particular

Sorry the way I understood you couldnt work confortable at oooforum because of its unresponsiveness. So I suggest using the official forums to test the iMacros until they are up there to perform all the tasks. But I most have missed something. Regards. On 9/3/14, Andrew Douglas Pitonyak

Yup my idea is that you have an array with the spam users, perform a search on them, and then fill out the page with the posts related to the spam users, and just have the macros select all checkboxes and press the delete, and go to the next page. That would allow you to get all the spam from that
