Attribute posts, plz

[Akyhne]

I did get my old posts back, but my post count didn't increase:

Yes, that's what happened when I did it to mine as well.

Well, you can always edit the 'posts' in smf_members in the DB, but that would be a hell of a job with +50.000 users xD.
"Recount all forum totals and statistics" won't do, unless they added that to the feature since I was in the team.

[ZarPrime]

Yeah, I could do that for 1 or 2 people, no doubt, but I wouldn't want to make this my life's work.

I just posted about it over on SMF to see if I'm missing some trick to it or something --> http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=387763.0

It's interesting that you had mentioned this.  Before you had requested that we do this for you, we had actually been looking into doing something about that because all of Bloc's old posts (user #1) are now attributed to Lesmond, since he was the original user #1 on this site.  Because of that, all of Bloc's posts from the News Board that show up on the FrontPage are now attributed to Les.

Yeah, I wondered about that, hehe.

Well, you now know how to reattribute posts, making a DB script to recount users posts should be fairly easy if the SMF build-in feature doesn't work.

did you try "Recount all forum totals and statistics" ZP?

[ZarPrime]

No, I didn't try that yet.  I guess I should try that though Akyhne said that wouldn't work.

Hi, glad to be around.

I asume I got some old posts from tinyportal.co.uk. Could someone with the right permissions please merge them with my account?

Any chance you could do the same for me please?   I've got several posts on here but can't find them easily now.
