Recycle Bin - delete option (24th Feb 08 at 10:51pm UTC)
There is a restore option just not a delete option. This would be nice to have when you have old topics, that have been deleted and you don't plan on restoring them, and to save on space, in the Recycle Bin, so you can see which ones you need keep in there or a just in case. Thanks, Darkmage

Half the idea of the recycle bin is to deal with rouge staff members and crackers who try to delete parts of your forum. The recycle bin stops them from doing any permanent damage. A feature is in development which will address the issue of saving space and improving performance. What it will do is permanently remove old topics/posts etc. provided they were deleted a certain amount of time ago (probably 14 days). That way the admin will have a choice of removing these old posts but without giving a cracker the opportunity to permanently delete the data.
