You can "now" delete posts by another poster in TB 5.0. and they

Not sure about the filter, but the "delete" item in the menu bar is
greyed out and does not work in TB 5.0 when in a newsgroup. It is not
greyed out, and does work when in an email account. This is by design
far as I know?

Is yours different?

5.0 here...


I am using TB 5.0.

Same here.

To delete a sender/poster, click Menu, message drop down, choose Create
filter from message.

Yes, I know all that, but in the past, deleting a message didn't work in
a newsgroup. I'm asking about the menu bar right below the tool bar.
You can customize it however you want, and one of the items is delete.
This is greyed out when in a newsgroup so you cannot delete the message.
I would think deleting a message via a filter wouldn't work either.
I'll have to try it on someone that looks like a troll... Mr Pounder,
yeah that looks shaky enough...

....Yep, now the filter deletes the message just as you say, yet and
still, the delete tool is greyed out in the menu bar....

I hope the sucker was a troll, cause the message sure enough is gone...
I prefer to mark them as read myself, just in case.


In the window that drops opens choose the obvious.

Then once the filter is created choose from the Menu, Tools, Message
Filters.

Choose the filter, and at the bottom of this window open the drop down "
Run filters on" and select the correct group. Choose run now.

The key is to ensure you have chosen the correct group.


Not a real quick way but it works.
