How do I merge an admin into another member and not delete the origianl admin account

[indiamike]

Okay here is the scenario-

I have user number the admin account and I wish to move all of the posts to another account so a new person can takeover as the admistrator (I am retiring) and want to be able to merge the accounts without the main account (member #1) getting deleted.

I have looked at the source code of usertools.php and it looks like if I just edit out the lines

PHP Code:

// Remove remnants of source user
    $userdm =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_SILENT);
    $userdm->set_existing($sourceinfo);
    $userdm->delete();
    unset($userdm); 


that I will be able to merge the accout and not have the origianl account deleted.

Does this look right? Or is there another method? I cannot do a backup and it's very urgent since I am switching owners.

Thanks in advance.
