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.

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 issues.
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.

I agree, sorry to see the sad state of the forum. Maybe all this
should be let known to the owner so he can take measurses. I dont
think anyone want to see oooforum go.

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.
Side note: It occurred to me that some of my "failures" may be
attributed to the site simply not responding since it stopped responding
last night.

There is very little difference between what an admin and a user sees in
this context.
To find the posts, I use the regular search. The returned list is the
same for an admin as well as a regular user. While displaying a thread,
there is an admin link that allows me to remove the thread and th
Unfortunately I dont admin any forum to see what you are seen, so I only
have access to the forum search engine but I know that the Admin (the one
able to delete the forum) is a different view.
I know the individual post url is on a (very small) icon next to the Posted
date. If you search for 'Pos

I am looking at iMacro, thanks for the suggestion. My initial attempts
this morning have failed because it seems to want a concrete starting

This might sound a bit out there, but a greasemonkey script can be done to
program the check out and delete of all the post related to the handful of

That way it could automated and ran all night.
Another extension is iMacros

Although I am able to remove the account, all that does is convert the
posts to have a "guest" user. I wish it did remove the posts as well.

More accurately, the owner is generally non-responsive (he is really
busy and does not have much time for a hobby forum).
The forum is currently hosted on machines that prevent him from granting
admin rights to the forum proper and I assume that he does not have
things properly virtualized to
So you got feedback from them, and they denied?
I mean this forum could need some help, the download widget on the
cover still point to 2.4.0 and many links are abandoned projects like
OOoMath and such.
