lowering msg limit

hi,
i have the msg limit currently set on 120, and thus i now have 120 msg displayed. so far so good. the thing is, if i lower the max msg down to say, 100, will mboard automatically remove the msg so that only the lastest 100 are showing? or will i end up crashing my mboard?
thanks

It won't crash MBoard, but you will have to remove the excess 20 messages by hand.

Whatever you do it's always a good idea to backup your existing files first before making any changes.

hi Klemen,
so will will need to manually remove the unwanted files in the msg folder and corresponding ones from threads.txt?

You can simply use the red X button to delete the extra posts. This will make sure they are deleted properly without having to mess with the threads.txt file.
