Hi guys,

I'm an old vBulletin user returning to the forum scene. I am working with a forum who is currently using a free host and have suggested they use vBulletin instead.

However, the free host has said they will not give us a copy of the database, so we wish to recreate important threads and posts.

What we would like to do is have the ability for administrators to change the username, post date and post time as they're making a thread/post.

If I remember correctly, there was a modification for this for VB3. So my question is has anyone seen a mod for VB4 that will do the same? Also, does anyone know where the VB3 mod is located so I can try using it on VB4?

Many thanks

This isn't very helpful because it sounds like you remember a Mod that makes this much much easier but....................

What I've done in the past to tweak things like this is to go into my phpAdmin on the server side, typically through cPanel or whatever your server has running on the backend, and I just go in and tweak the original content in the tables of the database.

This is good if you have maybe less than 20 items to tweak. But if you have a ton, then this could get annoying really fast. Hopefully someone can help you better than this.
