Hello,
Is it possible to bulk (mass) delete unanswered topics ?
Thanks.

By doing this you risk deleting important topics, such as the forum rules for example.

Thanks ! True !
So I added an answer to the forum rules and to 2 or 3 important topics.

Then, my question remains.

Is it possible to bulk (mass) delete unanswered topics ?

Je vois que vous êtes français. Moi aussi.
Merci !

Thanks.
What is MCP ?
And I need only unanswered topics.

MCP, in French language is PCM on the navbar at the top of the board.

Yes, in some cases it can be dangerous, but there is an option in the ACP for you to do that.

ACP > Forums tab > Manage Forums menu > Prune forums

Select which forums to do this in here and then select the options and submit.

That has no options based on number of replies though, which is what the OP wants.

There is no way to automate this in a default set up. You would have to manually select all the topics you want from the moderator control panel (MCP) and then delete them a page at a time.

Your other option is to request an extension in the hope someone knows the code to automatically move them after X days to a certain forum where you can prune from there.

If you're feeling adventurous: how about a db query to move all topics with no replies to a given (non-public) board?

Click on a individual forum, then click the link for MCP(or whatever it is for your language.) Scroll to the bottom and there is option to sort, sort by replies ascending which will give you list of topics starting with 0 replies. You can then use the "mark all" option on the bottom right of the page or individually mark them. Repeat for each forum.

This works. It is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot !
