Hi

When I started Mybb forums, I didn't install any anti-spam plugin. As a result, my forum was bombarded with spam comments

I deleted all spam comments from the database but still the Titles of those Spam messages are seen on my forum's HOmepage and Category pages

Can anybody pls suggest the ways to delete those spam posts along with Spam-Users names on these pages as well.

See those Spam messages in live here

Thanks A Lot'

use recount & rebuild tools available at tools & maintenance section ...

That's a lot of spam right there. Revamp your forum and do a fresh re-install heh Toungue

do you remember how you removed the spam posts from database ?
it appears that the threads titles still exist in threads table of the database ...
Be sure to delete the posts from mybb_threads as well.

It's all around better not to delete posts, users, and threads from the DB. Use MyBB's built in functions.
