    Posted: 24 September 2003 at 3:25am

Hi

I would like to change a username in a forum without loosing any of the messages / history attached to the user (Web Wiz 7.01).

In tblAuthor there are 2 columns of interest: Username and User_code.

Username contains the user's name but user_code also contains the user's name with a code appended to it.

Does anyone know which needs changed?

Thanks in advance

go to www.invisionportal.com and look for Web Wiz Mods in the link list

Mad Dog made a mod to change your members usernames

just download it and read the instructions to install it

then use it  

(if it doesnt work or you have problems post it on MadDogs site Invision Portal)

well.. I hate to admit it.. but I am less then experienced with ASP or HTML or anything other then emails and posting.. I have only "lucked out" on the things I have been able to make work..

not to mention I now have a MsSql DB that I don't even know how to access..    

I downloaded the mod.. and am gonna attempt it.. we'll see in a bit if it works

MadDog.. it wasn't YOU that I was concerned about..

I am telling you.. every time I manage to do something like this.. I about have a heart-attack!

I thought for sure my database would crash or I would erase everything.. but it didn't!!
