Delete a Conference

Delete a Conference

From time to time, you may need or want to delete a conference for some reason—lack of interest, completed project, or subject covered in other conferences. The WebBoard administrator, board manager, or conference moderator can delete conferences.

Warning!
Once you delete a conference, you can’t retrieve it, its messages, or its archives. You may want to consider the implications and anticipate the consequences of deleting a conference that has a mailing list. Mail sent to that conference will bounce if the conference no longer exists.

To delete a conference, follow these steps:

On the Management Menu, click Manage Conferences. The Manage Conference page appears.
On the Manage Conferences page, locate the conference you want to delete.
Click Delete in the Action column to the left of the conference name you want to delete. WebBoard prompts you to confirm the deletion.
- If the board currently uses IRC chat, are you about to delete the only remaining conference supporting a certain chat channel?
- If the conference has a mailing list, have you anticipated the consequences?
If you are sure you want to delete this conference, click Yes. To cancel this action, click No, and the conference will not be deleted.
