Don't know if this is a bug or something to do with the settings in 1.8.3

But... I just posted a New thread on my forums and then deleted the post content, so as that the initial post was empty. Yet it still showed up as an active thread with nothing in it.

My settings, if I remember correctly, are to disregard and (I assume) remove any posts containing less than 3 or 4 characters in the post. So... why would an empty thread posting still be shown on my forums? If I recall correctly, pre 1.8 versions simply made such a blank post 'vanish', as it were.
Set "can remove own threads" for the user group (under Forum and Posts) in the AdminCP. Then you can remove a complete thread bij deleting the 1-st post of that thread.
