Multi-Page Layout with Admin for Matt's WWWBoard

Description:

Problem:

1) WWWBoard Admin gets huge especially at very busy sites.  The admin scripts locks up the browser and it makes it impossible to edit the board after you have 5000+ messages.

2) After editing you had to wait for a new message to be posted to confirm the changes.

Solution: Create an interface where you can simply enter the page number and it will do the deleting and now the system refresh the multipage board so you see the changes right away.
