I did it with SMF and also with Elkarte, if I'm not wrong you need to change the user id and also the username

I just checked, the fields I edited are: id_member, poster_name and poster_email
I 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.
