If I go in to my Access db and change the R_AUTHOR in FORUM_REPLY and T_AUTHOR in FORUM_TOPICS, is this an effective way to consolidate a duplicate member? I want to delete a dup member but without losing their posts under the 2nd/duplicated member name.
I tried searching this forum and archives but surprising did not find anything. Maybe I didn't search well.
Also, have not seen any mods to handle the duplicate member situation.
You could handle that with a simple dbs file set to change the values for those two fields you referred to. You'd probably also need to delete any subscriptions for the member id to delete, but that should be it.
