How to delete messages from a Message Board

Remove the messages from bbs-data.html in a text editing application, and delete the corresponding HTML page:

  1. Download the bbs\messages folder from your web server.
  2. Open messages\bbs-data.html in a text-editing application (e.g., Notepad, SimpleText).
  3. Locate the line containing the reference to the message you want to delete. For example:
         parent.addpbbsArray ("test 01",856393725360,"Wed, 11 Feb 1998
         23:08:45 GMT","john smith",3,"message/4.html","1","4")
  4. In the Explorer or the Finder, open the messages folder and delete the page referenced in the line of code you located in step 3.
  5. In the text editing application delete the line of code you located in step 3.
  6. Save and close bbs-data.html.
  7. Use a third party FTP utility (e.g., CuteFTP, Fetch) to replace the remote copy of bbs\messages with the local copy of bbs\messages.
  8. Reload the Message Board in your web browser.
