Sorry for the delay! I'll add you right now.
Some advice:
1. You'll have moderator rights throughout the forum. Ha ha, the power! Obviously, please don't work on anyone else's SH but your own.
2. Consider saving the thread as a html document first, just in case; right-click on each page # and pick "save as". I usually save things as a one-file web archive.
3. Physically remove posts, don't delete them. This will wipe them off the SH completely.
4. There is a "mass delete" function where you can delete a bajillion posts at once; I don't use it because it's pretty darn easy to delete important posts. If you do use this, have the actual SH open in a separate window and triple check every post that you approve for deleting. Maybe do 10 at a time, instead of all of them.
You can reach this by using the moderator menu at the bottom right; pick delete thread, then "click HERE to selectively delete posts within the thread."
5. Don't delete the first post, or you delete all of them. (contact) accidentally did this once. It was not good.
6. The fastest way to delete individual posts is:
- right-click the Edit button; open in a new window
- physically remove post
- delete now
- close window and go back to original "master" window.
It's repetitive, but not too bad once you get the rhythm. You don't have to do all of them tonight. I'll leave you on for a couple of days.
Phew! Let me know if you have any questions. Cheiromancer, tell me when you want to tackle Sep's.
