phpBB delete user

How do you delete a user in phpBB?

Is it the same as banning a particular user?

I'm posting my phpBB questions here instead of the phpBB forum coz I always get straight to the point answers at NP

No technical mumbo jumbo for as newbies. I always get better results here

Thanks.

Banning is the best way to do this. To actually delete, you may have to go to the database (cpanel-phpadmin) to do it. But I don't know what effect this can have on your database - for example, what will happen to all his previous posts; do they just revert to anonymous, or will your forum stop working?

There are no post for this user yet. Just thought I can recover the "member number" assigned to him

Thanks.

in phpbb go int othe admin pannel (links at the bottom of every page when logged in)

then down the bottom on the left hand side there is a user managmenet link click
that

in the form that appears search or enter the username you want to delete

click submit

once thats don scroll all the way to bottom past there profile and you should see a delete section

click yes on that click submit and its he/she/it has been deleted
