I'm sure, I am going to have a face-palm moment with this one! How do you remove users to clean up the user list. i.e. the multiple test accounts I created while testing.
I can't find a way to do this from the User Editor, where I would think it would be.
I have to be missing something really obvious. So, I'm ready to say Doh!

Find the user record, press page down 5 times, select deleted to 'yes' then save

The to remove the 'deleted' user records run the appropriate mutil.ini stanza :)

There is now the option to do this with MUTIL. Take a look at the mutil.ini file from the current release.

We've all been there... Sometimes more often than we'd like to admit... (Yes,
I am talking about myself here) ;)

Yep, knew about the MUTIL part ... it was the marking them as deleted I was spacing on ;)

yes and as stated in the whats new and upgrade mutil does it no in the mutil.in i no more mbbsutil ;)

No worries. It looks like the deleting part is not implemented in MUTIL yet. Only the delete users older than X days. I did find a msg saying that the
Purge part was to come at a later date. But now I can navigate the menus... I'll be all set for that when it comes.

Never mind .. found it in the whatsnew.txt. I saw "PurgeUserBase", missed "PackUserBase". Spring cleaning to commence later.
Thanks for the help everyone! .. fantastic bunch !

Another question: I tried to delete a user I created to try things
in my BBS.
For that I used Mystic -cfg. But the user is marked as DELETED (or for deletion, don't remember the exact word right now) and he still appears in
the Users List as seen from Mystic -cfg USER EDIT option...

Any ideas?
Thanks!

You'll need to use mutil to pack and purge the user base. Check out mutil.ini for examples on how to do this.

Yes, when you delete user its a "soft delete". Meaning you can still
undelete them.

When you "pack" the user base using MUTIL it will physically remove the user and all the private messaged and stuff like that and they will no longer show up in the user editor.
