#3304 Links to deleted forums still visible to users

Milestone: v1.0.0

Status: closed

Originally created by: kambi

In my project castle-engine, I deleted three forums "macaulaytippins", "Arrockevark", "Jaxeffere". (These forums were created by someone abusing the security problem explained in #3283.) I don't want normal users to even see these weird forum names. However, on the page http://sourceforge.net/p/castle-engine/discussion/ , the deleted forum names and links are still visible in the left sidebar, even when I'm not logged in (see attached screenshot).

I would actually prefer to delete these forums permanently, to not even see them as admin... So an option to "delete permanently" would also solve my problem.

Create a new forum

Make a new thread inside that forum

See the forum in the sidebar, see the thread under Recent Topics

Delete the forum

Thread is still in recent topics

Search for the forum name, it's still in the results

Click the forum in the results, you can still access/read it

You can even post to it, and the recent topics count gets updated
