Ryan M Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Occasionally we have a user that is deleted and then we end up re-creating their account. Their posts end up with "Guest_username" or other weird names (depending on what version of IPB we were running at the time) that make the posts hard to sort or search out. Sometimes we want to reassign the post or topic to a specific user as the author. Perhaps a change author of topic or post should be available to admins only, or configurable by the root admin to decide if the group or moderator can change author of topic or not. That would be a helpful feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Munny Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 It's actually quite easy to do if you're willing to do some open heart surgery on your database... just search in the topics table for the appropriate topic and change the author (i.e. the member number assigned by IPB... example, my member number here at IPS is 101,377)... takes just a couple of minutes with phpMyAdmin.
