    Fudging Users

    Okay, so I created my board and my users are very interested in "status" among the boards. Okay, they're not, but they might be one day.

    I had a couple of spambots come in when we first started and of course I deleted their accounts completely rather than just banning them. I'm now thinking that there are two account numbers unaccounted for in my system (I'm on user ID 60, but actually only have 58 accounts on my boards). I know which two IDs were deleted.

    I would like to give these two IDs to two of my existing users. Is there any way I can do that?

    You could use an undelete hack and restore those 2 deleted accounts and edit all the information (username, password, email etc etc) for the needs of the new member.

    One member can't have two members id's. So if you do this, the members' current info will be overridden with the deleted members' info.

    Is there such a thing. ??


    User accounts, once deleted, also deletes the exising account numbrer/s and as far as I'm aware there's no way to alter this.

    I have seen hacks that claim to un-delete user accounts, granted I have never used them myself but I have seen a couple.
