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)

Getting ready to upgrade my forum to vb4, I have this product installed and I'm wondering will the owner changes I've made over the years carry over to vb4? Some of the posts I changed owners have attachments, will those also stay they way I put them or would they become orphaned if the posts revert to its original owner?

Unless you have some REALLY compelling reason to go to v4... And I'm yet to see one.... I advise against it, really.
