Is there a plugin of some sort that allows me to delete a user, but still continue showing his posts as posted under his name, instead of having all his posts changed to posted by "Guest" ?

I have seen some forums where a user that no longer exists still has his posts shown as being posted by his username, but the username is no longer clickable to view the users profile.

I don't mind deleting users accounts upon their request, but only if it doesn't rename all their posts to being posted by "Guest."

Any ideas?
Thanks!

By default when you delete an account the original username will stay on his/hers posts, but as there is no profile for this user anymore, the name is not linked to a profile.

Usertitle shown will be that of hte Not Logged In / Guest usergroup.

If the username on the posts change when you delete a user, then you are running a modification that does this.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
