Question Is it possible to merge users?

A user quit then came back later. Her old posts are showing up with her old user name showing as Unregistered. Would love to merge her old user name with her new user name so all posts can be credited to her. Is this possible?

Oh, might should say I have NO idea what version of software is being used or if the forum is IBP or phpBB or phpBB2 and am not sure how to tell.

I do not think this is possible even with IPB. Wild Cat will be able to tell you for sure on that.
Is this the forum is question? http://madmadworld.15.forumer.com
If so that is an IPB board. It says so on the bottom.
Your not sure what board you signed up for?

Yes, that's our forum. I didn't start it so I'm not sure what the person signed up for. Saw the "Powered by Forumer & IPB" info at the bottom of the page but knowing NOTHING about forum software I wasn't sure if phpBB or phpBB2 are versions of IPB or what. Yes, very new here. Just came looking for a few answers - like this one. (Found the other answer already.) I am an administrator of the forum - which is how I got here, clicking some link in the Admin CP to "go to the support forum: http://forum.forumer.com" This is all very, very new to me. Am I in the right place? Are IPB and phpBB the same things (just different versions) or are they completely different - I'm assuming applications. Wasn't even sure what to select when I signed up here. As I said, very lost. But did get one answer and, I guess with this, now have two answers. :-)

well that obviously means that the software is IPB....

phpBB is a different software and not a version of IPB, that's why we have 3 support sections here


and the answer to your question is no, you can't merge members.



Thread moved to the correct section.

USEFUL TIP: If your support request gets resolved, click on THREAD TOOLS > MARK THIS THREAD AS SOLVED. This will mark the thread RESOLVED and will close the thread. (please use this tip!)
