Thanks but thats not what I am looking for, is there an easier way to delete all posts across all boards at once?
So try this:
http://mods.mybb.com/view/forum-cleaner

Basically the same but can do it also in all forums:
http://mods.mybb.com/uploads/previews/18...8-FC-3.png

Set the limit in settings to higher to do it at once.

Can also try phpMyAdmin queries:
DELETE * FROM mybb_threads
DELETE * FROM mybb_threadsread
DELETE * FROM mybb_threadsubscriptions
DELETE * FROM mybb_threadratings
DELETE * FROM mybb_posts
DELETE * FROM mybb_polls
DELETE * FROM mybb_pollvotes
etc.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to do that though... those tables may be related to other (like reputation, moderatorlog or plugin specific) and it may have unwanted effects. So surely backup database before trying, still I recommend a plugin more.
Thanks for your help Smile
