Interesting behavior I observed with this tool.

Installed and it worked as advertised...but post-installation, threads loaded ridiculously slow. In fact, it effectively shutdown the site. I have no idea why, but when I removed the product, this was resolved.

I can recreate this issue at will. Has anyone else seen this?

Do not leave this mod installed, it will cripple your site.
It constantly runs queries to set userids against usernames as has been mentioned already on the thread.
This mod needs to be removed from here.

I do not know how your eyesight is pal, but before you download and use a mod, read the description first. It says right there with bolded and capital text as well:

Then after you are done restoring the deleted user/s, DISABLE it.

It can''t be clearer than that.

Ouch! I saw that, but wasn't sure why you would want to disable a user after you just restored it. It didn't matter to me since I didn't actually need to restore anyone at the time.

So I vote YES it can definitely be made clearer. e.g. A line at the beginning of the installation instructions: "This mod should normally be disabled. Only enable it long enough to restore a member." Then at the end another line: "Now disable the mod and only enable it long enough to restore a member."

lol @ editing the knee-jerk reaction post:
"I will be blunt here. I do not know how your eyesight is pal, but before you download and use a mod, read the description first before throwing tantrums like a drama queen. It says right there with bolded and capital text as well: *Then after you are done, DISABLE it. *
"
You might want to clarify your instructions and explain to people why they should disable it. Like Videx said I am not the only one and there are plenty of other people who have complained in the thread.
I'm personally throwing a tantrum because your horrible modification left my board sucking resources for quite some time before I narrowed it down to you. You should go as far as to putting a warning into the header, visible to admins, that the mod needs to be disabled, and a link to easily do that. I stand by my position that this modification should be pulled from vbulletin.org until you patch it.

Of course it can be made clearer. Stop clowning around.

Does anyone use this mod with vbulletin 4.1 ? I installed and tried to restore the threads and posts it said everything ok but after update counter the new user's post& thread is still 0 post.

Hi borbole,

I'm hoping you can help me, I've installed this on my test site running 4.1.10 or whatever the new version is :)

I can restore old posts/threads to a new users, that seems to work.

However when I get their user info profile and search for threads and posts by that user nothing comes up?

I've reset all the counters as described.

PS: I should say the post count display on the postbit seems to be correct for the user, but nothing when you search for new posts or threads

I installed and ran this. It worked, but I had to go and delete all users entries in the blog portion of the cms. When I went to the blogs it gave me a fatal error. I went in phpmyadmin and saw that the users old userid was still assigned to the blog entry. I changed the old id to the new id. That didn't work... still got a fatal error. I deleted the blog entries for the user and all is back to normal... I HOPE.

mod very best
i love you :D:D

Don't use this mod on a big forum.
Mine is about 1 000 000 posts and there was 300 online users : i enabled it and forums came out of control, with only server errors because this mod execute an ugly sql request each time postbit_display_complete is called --> SQL crash alone, can't disable it.
