Its possible to change thread author?

[Regina Ortega]

Hello, my question is if it's possible to change thread author?

It's because im fired my older forum admin, and he made was making the news at news and annoucements section. So all former news and annoucements will remain at its name, so i want to change it to the new forum admin.

I hope it can be possible, i dont want to rebuild all threads

There is nothing built in to do this (I'm not sure if there's an add-on).

Emm the add-on didnt work. already uploaded the files inside "upload" folder to xenforo root, and installed the addon. But i dont see anyplace to configure it at admin control panel, neither an option to change the thread as showed in the image

Please.

I've just installed this on my test site.

You need to set the permission to change the thread starter in the desired usergroup:

Then you should be able to see this:
