XF 2.0 Anonymous Users

Good morning. when i imported my DB from phpbb i had a few banned users on my forum - the posts show up as anonymous user how do i find them in the DB? i went through many of the tables with no luck.

Has anyone else seen this?

If the user names are not linked to an ID then they won't exist in the user table.

Thanks Brogan, I see their posts in the tables listed as id 0 - is there a way i can change them so they show up as a a user again?

No, those are deleted user accounts.

It's potentially possible by creating new accounts and reassigning posts, etc. to those accounts, but there would be a lot of tables to update and you would need a robust solution to ensure there would be no corrupt/orphaned data.

Alternatively, you could unban them in phpBB and assuming they are valid user accounts there, do the import again.
