Phsyical deletion not working

[Nick0r]

I'm the admin at my board... I can't seem to work out why when I go to phsyically delete threads it's just soft deleting them and then I have to click manage and physically delete for it to work. Is there a setting or something i've overlooked? My threadtools delete template is unchanged.

[Steve Machol]

Not sure I understand. Can you please explain exactly what you are doing?

[Nick0r]

I'm going to thread tools > delete thread, ticking Physically remove it and pressing go

[Steve Machol]

Try this. Create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Then change to this style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

and now even when I press manage and physically delete it, it does not go..

The thread deletes/soft delete combo is where i've tried to physically remove it.

The first soft delete it my first attempt to physically remove it, where it soft deleted.

Steve I can't do that because a few of my hacks require things to be changed in templates and when the code in the php files and the templates don't match I can't do much..

[Steve Machol]

Well we can't really provide support for hacked forums anyway. I suggested this to see if the problem is caused by any templates changes. If not, then the problem is related to one or more of the hacks you've installed.

[Nick0r]

Any ideas as to where I can look towards for these problems? What files & what templates?

[Steve Machol]

Not offhand, no.

[Nick0r]

I can't see why any hack i've ever installed would affect this, it's more likely to be a vbulletin option....??

[Aros]

When you install a hack, it often requires File Modifications. Which affects vBulletin's Performance either way, run by your list of Hacks installed.

[Nick0r]

Could it be anything to do with the init.php fix I did?

[Nick0r]

still no solution, this is really weird..

[Nick0r]

There is something thats only allowing soft delete, it's taking my physical remove command and changing it to soft delete, what files should I look at?

Try that.
