I need to reboot the server at around 12.00 BST today to apply some Ubuntu Server updates. Should only take 5 minutes.

The update to the latest version of phpbb (Our forum software) seems to have resulted in an issue with deleting private messages. Looking at the phpBB forums this seems quite a common issue. If you select the ones you want to delete, then scroll to the bottom of the page, select 'Delete Marked' and click OK, you get:

For now you will need to go into each message individually, and delete the message that way. I will investigate further as soon as I am able.

Let me know if you have any issues.
