My forum is so messed up :( - Posted By RuhRoe (mezorro) on 6th Nov 08 at 3:00am

I got this message.
=U= SÞÄRTÄñ: spartan was already taken
=U= SÞÄRTÄñ: so im spartan6157

I have 2 members on my forum {Sad} None of their user names is spartan. But I use to have this guy on my forum with that username. After I deleted all my boards and all my members I didn't get rid of the id's somehow... Any help?

It don't get rid of the usernames for some reason, I noticed this once too, I created test1, deleted that, then tried test1 again, but it said "This username was already taken."

(This was on one of my testing accounts awhile ago.)

The user account does not get completely deleted to protect against anyone cracking a password and deleting parts of your forum (topics, boards, users). After the account has been deleted for 14 days it can be removed via the "Purge Forum Database" feature.
