it was worth a try. thanks. it did work for that one user but then it didn't update the user information on old posts, like when I click the profile it still went to userid=0. i really don't think that this is possible :-/ lol. maybe it's just me and me lack of "knowing what I'm doing" but I guess the old users can just reregister lol. 3 mods already have (one under the same name as their old one) and when I open it to public, I can just leave a note in the registration pages about it. i don't wanna keep you here lol. thanks anyway. the search and replace hack you told me about was awesome. thanks.
