Message Board

Is there a way to go into mysql and change the member’s name who made the post and the date it was posted.

My very first member had 8 very good posts, but instead of generating a new topic for each of the eight topics, she started one thread and then did reply for the 7 others topics putting them all under the one topic.

I didn't think it would be a problem getting her to fix it so I went ahead, made copies in MS Word and deleted the post.

I was wrong; she just doesn't get it and wants me to fix it. The problem is that the 8 posts are not things that should come from the admin person but from members.

So bringing this all back around, I would like to re-post them under as the admin and then change the post to reflect her name and the date (2 wks ago) that they were posted.

I can not do that as the admin of the board but could I do that in mysql and how please?

TIA
Joe

Sure - log into your database and find the username table. Find the applicable row and edit appropriately. Each forum/message board is different, so if you post which one you're using, maybe someone who has used it will be able to tell you which table it is exactly.
