Actually I could not find a clear criteria in that search-form. But actually SQL helped me to create a criterium. First, I identified all accounts in the approval-queue using the members bitmask and then I updated the post-counter for these members to an unique value: update `core_members` set member_posts = 998877 where ((members_bitoptions & 1073741824) > 0) AND ((joined - last_activity) < 100) AND (member_posts = 0) Now it was easy to prune them. Actually the background-task is still running, but we are on a good way.

This is true - the validating tab contains a list of 169 pages, a little more than 4.000 members. As mentioned in my first post, I am looking for a solution that does not require me to handle them one by one.

Hi Marc, thank you for the answer. I have noticed the cog. But how can I search for members awaiting approval? I cannot search for that flag and I also cannot combine fields like "date joined = date of last activity" (that would be close enough for this case).

Hi there, there was a slight mis-configuration of my forum and now more than 4.000 members are waiting for their manual approval by the admin. It is a wild mixture of about 75 percent spam-accounts (most likely) and 25 percent real users. And I tend to delete all of them and request for re-registration. It was clearly my fault, but now I need to handle this situation in some way. What might be the best way to get rid of these accounts without clicking on them one by one? best regards, Dany

Okay. Thank you all for the answers.

will do, thanks.

Hi there, I recently upgraded my test-install to version 4.5.4 and started installing my previously purchased apps and plugins. If I understood correctly, starting with version 4.5 there are no manual downloads from the marketplace from this site, I have to use the marketplace-integration in the acp of my forum. But how can I review the code that is now running on my server? I have to know what it does to the server and to the data of the users. Somebody has to be responsible in the end and IPS states clearly that they are not responsible for any damages. A quote from the acp: "IPS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR AND YOU AGREE TO HOLD IPS HARMLESS FOR ANY POSSIBLE ISSUES CAUSED BY FILES DOWNLOADED FROM IPS MARKETPLACE. ? Well - that is okay. But someone has to be responsible. In the end, it's me. How can I bring myself into a position where I can say "yes, I have seen all the files from that extension and I will take the responsibility" ? I have found new sub-folders in "/applications/" and "/plugins/". Is it guaranteed that all the files from apps and plugins are there and nowhere else? What are your guidelines/recommendations for code-reviews of plugins and apps? Best regards, Dany

Hi Adriano, I just tried to install this app in my test-installation (v 4.5.4). The marketplace-backend in my ACP simply gives an error-message "There was an error installing the resource, please submit a support ticket for further assistance." This is clearly not much of information - what can I do to provide more information about the cause of this error? Usually my test-installation is protected by http basic-authentication, but while installing all the extension, I've disabled the protection. Installing your apps "Ignore Topics" and "Ignore Forums" succeeded. best regards, Dany

Great, thank your for your quick response.

After purchasing - is it possible to get the last working version for 4.3.x? (without support of course) I am not yet ready to upgrade the forum, but I‘d like to include your plugin.
