Solved How to delete user replies and topics and stop spam.

Hi there,
hope you are well.

Could someone explain to me how I can delete a users topic or reply to a topic?

I keep getting the following error:
Error
You have entered information to an obsolete form from another session. Please verify that the user account is yours and please try again!

Also is there anyway to automatically stop spam? Like limiting the time before a user can post again.

Thank you in advance.

in the security tab on the kunena config you have several option to prevent spam. I also suggest to use recaptcha.

I am not sure that I understand the question.

Are you asking how to delete your own topic or are you asking how to delete a topic that someone else created? Are you talking about how to do this in your own forum or are you asking about how to do this in a forum that is managed by someone else. You may find the information in this article is helpful: Moderator's tools . Unfortunately this article is out-of-date and there is no user documentation for Kunena 4.0.

On the second part of your question, I cannot understand why you are unable to locate the REPLY or QUICK REPLY options on your forum. It may help if you watch the video that will help you submit your configuration report .

Yes, this sometimes happens if the Kunena session time (default value is 30 minutes) is different to your Joomla session time (default value is 15 minutes).

You might find some of this information helpful:

• Error You have entered information to an obsolete form from another session...
• You have entered information to an obsolete form. Please reload page and try again!
