Soldf Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hello!Some times members registers using their own surname and later regeret it, even after we have deleted the account.A deleted member shows up as Guest_[Previous display name]_*Hot can I change the "Previous display name" so it can not be associated with the real person?I suppose the only way to change that name is through PhpMyAdmin. Looking at a ibf_post the author_name is the display name not the "Guest..." name.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim M Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Once a user is "deleted", it is no longer possible to edit their username/display name from the ACP. Yes, unfortunately, running a MySQL query is the only way to change this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Bergsten Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It's an easy MySQL query though and if you have issues with it, many can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
