I started my forum as I wanted to talk about making cheese. To initially populate it I made some posts with a Members account "Cheese Head" and some with my administrator's account "webmaster".
Now that my forum is starting to be used by other people, I'd rather use the Member's account for participation postings and reserving the administrator's account for administrative postings as I feel that having "webmaster" all over the place is a bit imposing.
Is there any way I can rename the original poster of my webmaster posts to Cheese Head, or do I have to delete and re-post them(not fun)?
Hope this is clear, thx for advice, John.
There's a work around in 2.0 where you can re-attribute Guest Posts. Delete the appropriate account then go Admin > Maintenance > Reattribute User Posts and then fill out the information it requires. (guest email or previous username)
Thanks Gazmanafc
After deleting one account in SMF 2.0 I went Admin > Forum > Forum Maintenance > Common Tasks > Reattribute User Posts and reassigned those deleted users posts to my main user, worked slick, thanks.
Only hitch is that I couldn't do it on a post by post basis, it was all or nothing and I wanted to leave my Administrative posts (ie FAQs & Annoucements) under my webmaster User ID. My problem.
I'm sure you could have at the db level changed the post owner from webmaster to cheesehead. This could have saved the global change of all posts by webmaster.
