Make sure to reverse polarity on everything first.

And whatever you do, don't cross the streams.

And just to be safe, prepare to decompress the main shuttlebay.

Three.

There's literally a DELETE EVERYTHING button that gives me fear just looking at.

I've hit that button on accident while browsing on my phone a couple times. Thankfully, there is a pop-up that says "are you sure you want to delete everything?" and I've always managed to hit the "no" button there.

I feel like that's the sort of feature that should require a password entry. Or at least, some confirmation method that isn't accident prone.

It's really not as dangerous as it sounds. It only deletes MARKED postings - and there's no way (that I know of) to mass-mark postings. You have to mark each one individually, by clicking a small circle.

Even if you ignored the 'Do you really want to do this?' posting, you'd have to have spent several minutes tediously clicking all of the tiny circles on the front page in order to delete just those postings with that button.

I didn't even notice THAT one! I was actually referring to the 'reset or uninstall forum' option under Admin.

...This job is getting too stressful.

lol

I haven't tried pressing that button - but I'd guess there's a warning there, too. (Really, though, I haven't visited that page in months; I guess I COULD accidentally click over to it, and then accidentally click the reset button, and then accidentally accept the warning... but it seems unlikely. :) )

Don't stress. Again, the worst that happens is you delete one day's worth of postings. We'll all live. :)

Perhaps a "civilian mode" for admins?

I'm not sure who did what, but you should feel lucky the forums is just around. There's literally a DELETE EVERYTHING button that gives me fear just looking at. But I also have an irrational fear when I'm around precious china in a store that I'll have my first seizure...

I'm going to have to request one more admin privilege...

Sounds like this is a disaster waiting to happen. I hope Claude is checking his backups.

There are, indeed, daily backups. (We'd still lose the day's worth of postings, though.)
