UkVAC MIGRATION !!!
- Thread starter Ravage
- Start date
You could always do what I did, just accidently delete the entire Inbox
I managed to salvage and manually paste and copy to Word some ongoing messages from the Outbox, so all was not lost
Anyway, my mailbox is now totally empty. Looking forward to the new forum

Ooh, exciting. Good luck with the move!
Well folks...
THIS IS THE DAY ... THIS IS THE HOUR ... THIS IS THIS!
To quote Pop Will Eat Itself
At the days end the current forums will lockdown and be read-only... With luck the migration to XENFORO forums will take between 2-4 days, plus allow 1-3 days of admins checking...
For some, a hard week without the Vac... Bear with us... As we'll only have Facebook for status updates, look there - I'm sure as hell us admins are going to be busier than hell!
Some stats, as at now (not at lockdown), these are the figures:
Users: 7269
Category 10 Categories with 49 Sub-Categories
Topics: 79,687
Posts in topics: 538,821
Private Messages (conversations): 455,532
Thats over
1 MILLION POSTS
- PHEW!
Thanks to those that have cleared out unwanted PMs - we get charged by the post so it all helps.
Thanks that have also donated this week (you know who you are
) - its especially needed at this time.
Lets hope its a smooth ride and not a rollercoaster! Unless theres something important I need to add before the kickoff thats me signing off and heads down for the big 'M' !!!
Whatever happens...
We are ukVAC... We Are Us... This IS This!

Funny story that.
Turns out webwiz when a user deletes them, keeps them in the SQL db and just hides them from the user. Assuming some sort of single reference if the sender doesn't delete but the recipient did or vice versa.
We learnt about that dB feature after the PM import.
I have 807 pages of PMs 😍😍😂😂😂
Yeah crap really, just prune them once more if there's stuff you're not interested in.
Do you 'leave conversation' to delete them, since there is'nt a button or dropdown I can see with 'delete' in there.
does it actually delete them once all parties have left the conversation, or do they live forever (or until next migration!)
does it also delete any attachments / pictures embedded in them as well, that would be useful to free up some space long term.
