Has it ever happen to you when a user in a moment of angry deletes his/her account and later comes back? Or his/her account was deleted by the evil admin and all his/her posts appear as guests? If it has happen, then this mod is for you.
With this mod you can assign back his/her posts and threads. All the user has to do is to register again, be that with the same username as before or a new one. Then you can reassign back all their posts.
I know that this can be also done with a query at phpmyadmin, but this mod is meant to make it easier for those that are not so tech swavy and are not familiar with phpmyadmin and are afraid of messing things up.
Installation:
To install the mod, upload the admincp and includes folders to your forum root folder maintenaning the structure intact and then import the Restore Posts And Threads.xml file inside the mod package to Plugins&Products in the acp of your forum.
To make use of the mod go to the Maintenance area at your acp, click the drop down list and you will see a new option added called: Restore Deleted User. Click on it and configure it accordinly.
Note: After assigning the posts and/or threads, go to: Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters and run the Rebuild Thread Information, Rebuild Forum Information, Update User Names, Update Post Counts.
Note, before you run the last option ( Update Post Counts), read the description under the title.
If you will need support with this mod, then please post at the mod thread at my forum. Thanks
It works nearly perfect...
But.
When I assign the posts from the deleted user to the new user, the posts cannot be found by searching all posts of user .....
Second: the post count of the new user is not increasing.
Maybe this is also the reason why the posts can't be found?
I manualy have increased the post counter of the new user, but still no posts found.
I also updated the post counts on the admincp.

I get the same, you can do an advanced search for the members posts and it lists them all, and all posts seem to be assigned to that member, but members dont do advanced searches they click view all posts in the members profile. how do we sort this
Just installed this on my 4.1.4 board without any problems at all. Awesome mod!
Did not experience any of the problems mentioned above. The restored user's posts show up on search with the name of the deleted one. Post count is working as it should as well.
Thanks for sharing. This will save me a ton of time
