Hi,
I just wander if force reactivation means that all posts someone made before reactivation are lost for that member, or if that member reactivate he, or she, can simply continue with old profile with all previous posts? Does force reactivation means that member will have to start from scratch, with zero posts, even if he, or she, had some number of posts previously?

Deactivating a user does not automatically delete their posts, it just makes them inaccessible until the user is reactivated.

Re: Force reactivation question
Posts are still visible, the profile, pm, contact info etc. is inaccessible. Useful if for example the poster passes on.Brf wrote: Mon Jul 15, 2024 4:28 pm Deactivating a user does not automatically delete their posts, it just makes them inaccessible until the user is reactivated.

Re: Force reactivation question
Is this new? Maybe I am thinking of users who were deleted improperly from the database. I know deleting users that way has always messed up page counts and such.

IIRC when deleting a user, there's an option to delete the user and retain or delete that user's posts .Brf wrote: Tue Jul 16, 2024 12:43 pmIs this new?

No and I tested here to make sure it was still the case after your comment to see if it changed.
