I made a heap of posts on the drone forum, in my username. I'd like to create a new user and assign the posts to that username instead.

The catch is I don't want to assign ALL the posts of my user, just selected ones.

Any way of doing this?


Please do not PM me with questions on astrophysics or theology.  You will get better and faster responses by asking homeless people in the street. Thank you.

A few at a time maybe. I have not looked at that option in the admin panel or even used it before. It shouldn't be to hard to do it that way though. :)

Hmm as per attached the only place I can find it, allows attribution of ALL posts from one user to another. Not selected posts.

Bugger !

I thought from there it was possible to do a bit at a time. I guess not. You will have to do all I guess. :dontknow

I suppose it could be done via the db, how I am not sure, and I bet there is a sql command that could do it.

I'd be scared to try mucking with the db

Playin with a database is actually not to bad. Just remember to take a backup of it before playin

Any instructional stuff about all this?

I have never played with people's posts in the database, but, there must be a member id there that could be switched from post to post. I think. Not sure though. :dontknow

Yes, you would use the member id with the db but not sure how you'd do it concerning particular posts.

Apparently Sesquipedalian has submitted a 2.1 compatible mod  "Post as Another Member" to do exactly what I need, just pending approval by the SMF team !
