Implemented Be able to merge Users

[Jesepi]

I'd like to be able to select 2 usernames and merge all posts/likes/ect into one. I would like to be able to pick which username the merge would leave as the single username.

Sometimes people have multiple logins for one reason or another. Being able to merge them is nice.

[giorgino]

Isn't the only one must needed feature!!!

 

[zagman76]

I would like to see this feature as well.

I've ended up doing it manually. It's a PITA but doable.

 

[Brandon Sheley]

I tried to manually merge users but must of messed something up.
This should be a default option IMO.

I just wonder why there's still a lack of such an add-on.

I just wonder why there's still a lack of such an add-on.

It needs to be CORE that is tightly integrated with the addons system. This is so that any addons that store data in their own tables based on user_id can be properly handled when user accounts are merged. If this is not done correctly, you will have serious issues with many Addons (any addon that has its own table(s) that stores user_id would be effected).

so I have 2 super admins, both are me. During the import i was call user2. During the purchase i am user1. user2 has all my posts from the old phpbb install. Can I rename them in phpadmin to get the correct name that I want to use. The passwords are the same and they both are super admins?
