Hi.

I want to move posts, private messages from one user to another one, from user 2 (membership 2) to user 4 (membership 4). I don't want to delete user 2 but I want his posts to be 0 and his posts will be moved to user 4.

Please tell me about the SQL query or any code to do this.

My vBulletin Version is 3.8.5

That is not an easy task. Better would be to merge the account and then create a new account with the old name.

Can you tell me how to do the task which is not easy because I need very importantly to have the user 2 with the ID 2?

Thank you.

The new user would get a new id.

What is the reason you need the user to have id = 2? Id's are only internal reference numbers and have no special meaning.

sorry I need that because we have VIP membership numbers and most important membership will get the first numbers. Can you help please?

Is there a reason why changing the userid of the 'new' member in the user table back to '2' wouldn't work so long as there is no existing entry for user '2.'?

Userid's are referenced in many places, so it is not a simple change.

@xsultanx
I strongly suggest you change your method, as this is really limiting your options. A userid is only a reference number and should never be given any meaning.

OK is there a ways to change the user ID from starting from 1 to start from 0? or to start from 10 for example?

The problem is that in posbit_lagacy template I have a field which shows the membership number which is the same as ID

Although this would be a 'dirty' fix you could include a conditional so that "if userid = 750, display userid = 2" in the postbit... If this is the only member you need to do this for it will work but would totally suck for multiple members.

I will try this but how should I write the code exactly?

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