xenon released a hack a long time ago where you could change the id of a thread to another user.Is there anything available for 3.6.8 which would do this as i have a few threads that i need to add to a new id.

I don't think anyone has updated one for 3.6.8.

You could do this within the database -- but why do you need to change the author?

Yeah can do within database but xenons hack allowed it to be done quite easily within a thread.

The easiest way, would probably not to mess with the thread, but the first post. If you change the first post posters ID from 1 to 2, then it now becomes user 2's post.

so you think there is a slight chance a vb3 hack would work on 3.6.8

i throught all the hooks and everything had changed since then ?

I doubt it would. Due to the way everything was coding in vB 3.0.x is drastically different than in vB 3.5.x+. So I don't think ANY vB 3.0.x hack will work on vB 3.5.x+!

Yes, it won't work. But, it shouldn't be too hard to get it to work.
