Possible to edit who posted what?

[Bull Dozer]

Is it by any chance possible, as an administrator, to change which registered user made a post? That is, if a thread consisted of posts by A, B, C in this order, can the second post's "posted by" be changed to user D instead of B keeping the content of the post intact?

Maybe a direct database tweak?

You would have to edit the thread / post record in the database. These are the relevant tables:

xf_thread
xf_post

You need to update the user_id and username. If it's the first post in a thread then you need to update both tables.

You may wish to update post counts after changing the post records:
