Re: Post in the name of another user? Reply #6 – December 18, 2017, 10:58:09 am I just checked, the fields I edited are: id_member, poster_name and poster_emailI know many will find this useless, but I need to do this because a moderator of my forum created some step by step tutorials in MS Word and he had no time to publish them on forum. So I made the topics, then I changed the author.
