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.

will just ask ... can we use this mod when we will move or separate some posts from some threads? (exp. user who posts with re: prefix - make like thread owner in another forum?) - that is sometimes problem when we move some posts ... and they come on top of threads!

With this hack you can change the thread owner, yes.

If you cannot find a valueable reason for this mod than you probably don't need it.
In my experience - There is this thread started by some user long time ago, he was banned and he just have 3 post inside the thread. The thread become so popular and in my case i posted 90 percent of the replies or updates to that thread. People ask who is that thread starter all the time the thread is about Photos = Models.
So this hack is helpful in a way.
Scenario 2
We started from those freeboards. no way u can back up. we got tons of good materials. Now mods are assign to manually copy paste from freeboards = VB.
With this, mods can easily copy paste/move then rename it to proper thread owners.
