how do I disable all filters?

I have a major malfunction in NB Pro 64.

I was going to try to disable a poster and I was in the main filters screen and the "from" option was highlighted. I then had a catastrophic disaster at my house. My cellphone ended up in the water. My day just went from bad to worst. Now all my content that has never been downloaded now has the red dot beside it and in the status column all header files are shown as "Subject Reject"!

I am finding out that Filters can be a bad news scenario. How do I get things back to normal and NO RED DOTS in the Subject area.

I should have just stayed in bed this morning :oops: :evil: :cry:

You know, the filters have no impact on downloading right? I mean the subject filters don't. They just prevent you from seeing the post if you've enabled the filters, which apparently you haven't.

If you really want to clear the filters:

1 - In the options select "Open Data Folder"

2 - Exit Newsbin

3 - Delete "Filters.db3" and "PosterLockout.txt".

Then restart Newsbin.
