Changing Members Post Totals Question

We are adding new admin to our forum, and since the members posts are in the thousands, we would like to be able to give some posts to the admin so they can be in the thousands too so they won't be newbies at 0.

In 1 there was a way in profiles but we can find nothing in RC3 to change posts numbers. Have looked at the database and not sure how to do it.

Is this possible and how could we do it please?
Easy instructions, have only done a few things in databases, just learning how they do things, lol.

Have searched and searched and only found how to merge, not add posts.

On a non technical note - this could make him look really bad to those members who have worked at getting those thousands of posts... It could do more harm than anything so I would think about it carefully before you do it.

Ona technical note - Go to the persons Profile > Account Settings > Change the number under "posts"

We thought of that, are discussing how we should do it.

We also in an upgrade lost alot of members that had alot of posts in the thousands that they accumulated over a year and they had to start at 0 again, not happy, lol.
Our workaround was to make a only visible to them section so they could post anything they want to reget their posts, some have very high posts to get and they will be a long time regetting them all since they do not have time to post every day, so this would benefit them as well if we could figure how to do it.

In 1 it was on that page but on RC3 it only has
