Change Posted By Name Via Moderate Threads

[noonespecial]

I've attached my moderate.php file. I'm trying to make it so that when I got to my Moderate Threads page, it will show the "Posted by:" and then the USERNAME of the postee in a changable field (text form box), and I want to then be able to change that ..

For example:

Say John Doe submits news (posts a moderated thread in our news forum) to us .. we can then go to the modcp ... and change the username on the post from John Doe to our user name (so that it appears as though staff posted the news) and then we can simply add a "submitted by john doe" line at the bottom of the post.

Any ideas? I tried editing the attached file .. but it doesn't work.

The other option would be somehow to make it so that whoever is moderating the posts' user name would be passed to a varible i could use on the main news page .. so taht it said :submitted by: username of postee .. and then approved by: staffmemberusername (of the person who approved it via modcp)..

dont know what's easier.
