You will have to go through the database and replace the Author_ID in all the tables from the old users author id to the new users author id.]]> Mon, 29 Jan 2007 22:07:59 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/changing-users-group-problemurgent-help-needed_topic22555_post120013.html#120013 <![CDATA[Changing user's group problem-Urgent Help needed! : OK thanks a lot.

OK thanks a lot. Password not a problem, does not requre a change.
 
Now another question if I may.
 
How do I move all the post done by a user to another user? (i.e all Bob's posts to John)?

You can change the username in the database. But you have to change the password through the profile section of the board.

Or you can copy the Password and Salt field from a fresh database and put it into your current database to reset the password to "letmein".

OK OK I understand believe me.
 
My question is this: If this account's name is Bob and I wish to change it to John - is that possible? What happens if I do it manually in the database?

You can change the username.

You can NOT delete the main admin account is HARD CODED into the code. If you delete the main admin account your forum will not function correctly. Same goes for the "Guest" username (second record in the members table).

OK I understand.
 
Can I change this user's name? Can I delete him?
 
I can access the database and change it manually. Would that screw thing up a lot?

The default account is the first member in the database... and you can not change it as its hard coded into the forum.]]> Mon, 29 Jan 2007 21:47:06 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/changing-users-group-problemurgent-help-needed_topic22555_post120003.html#120003
