Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Change Threads/Posts Owner/Date for vB3.8

Change Posts Owner

Created by Marius Czyz aka Phalynx.

Tested on vBulletin 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8

What does this modification do?
It can change the owner and date of multiple threads and post. For this, it adds another option to your mod actions on forumdisplay, showthread and search results. After selecting some threads or posts, you can choose the new owner by name or by UserID. "By name" works with the AJAX namesuggestion, we all know it from writing a PM. After changing the name, it rebuilds thread/forum counters and post counter of old and new user. Attachments will also be assigned to new user.

Installtime: <1 minutes
Difficulty: very easy (1 product)

Demo is not available, due to missing permissions on my board.

[Merjawy]

Great mod... Thanks

inline attachments deleted when changing owner's name
SMODs can see the option but they don't have permission to use it.. So why is it showing?

Thanks

Can this please be changed to be compatibel with the 4.0-version?

[benstillman]

The line in the moderation menu is blank and there is not text in the change owner window. Attached is a thumbnail of what I'm talking about. Happens in all styles. Seems like English language is missing?

[Leo Brazil]

Yeah, this one is very useful for sure, no way to survise without it on 4.0.

[Anne Lise]

Does it work in 4.0?
