Users
 

Hi, I have a medium size forum 250,000 posts with 8000 users, we had a huge problem with duplicate users, and arguing back and forth. So I decided to delete the users and require all users that wanted to be involved with the forum to sign up again. It has worked great and everyone knew that the old posts would just be old posts with no registered user, yesterday I found a mod called advanced editing and it would allow me to give a user back his posts, say his name was test I can just do a search for test and then just re-save the messages and that post was theirs again. The problem is some of the users have 4000 or 5000 posts it would take me a life time to manually edit each post is there a way or a mod that will allow me to automatically say find all posts by user test and give to them.

If not is there a coder that can do a mod like that. I will pay if we can work something out

Thanks for your help
