modifying user post count

[plcguru]

Hi Folks,
I'm converting my existing forums from dcboard to vBulletin.

Right now there are existing posters with post counts that I want to keep. (i.e. Joe Blow has posted 500 times, Tom 300 times, etc)

When Joe Blow registers at my new vBulletin board he'll be starting with 0 posts. I want to change his count to 500. How can I do it?

Thanks ;)
Phil

Look for a hack about UBB, and fixing users... can't find it right now but if you look carefully you will find it.

FireFly-
Thanks for your reply.

All I found was this which basically says 'yes you can', but I was hoping to find out 'how'.

Any ideas?

I guess I can manually edit the table to change the number for each user but will this change affect the board when I do maintenance to the database?
In other words will the additional count I gave the user be lost?

Thanks!
