Change Guest to User on threads (EZBoard)

This is an updated of the Ezboard Guest -> Registered user script. I took feldon's copy and hacked it up to 3.5 support.

The 3.0 version is here

Please realize that I am extremely busy and probably won't be able to support this much. I do plan to integrate something more robust into vBulletin so you no longer need to come here to gain this functionality. Perhaps you can bug feldon23 for support? The 3.0/3.5 code differences are easy enough to understand when you compare the two.

Save this as ezimport.php and place it in your admincp directory. Also note that it has no Admincp permission checking so buyer beware.

PHP Code:
