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.

Please click Mark as INSTALLED, otherwise I will not support you.

Marius,
Please find time in your busy schedule to update this one. This was one of my most used and valuable mods that I downloaded.

Thanks,
John

Hi... I highly doubt this will be converted to vB4 in next few months. The fact that I even don't have any forum of me upgraded to vB4 makes it also more difficult.

It is difficult for ordinary users to get involved with SQL. So we await the development of this modification

I'll stay subscribed and patiently wait your release.

Thanks for reconsidering your direction on this mod.

Patience is on my side and your "beers" chilling out on the fridge....like I said on the other thread....lol... It's almost impossible for me thinking about upgrading to vB4 without this mod, vBEx and your thread tagger.
