XF 2.1 User deletion - Restore

[WxP]

I have "deleted" a user at my own Forum, because that user has requested me to do so.
The Forum-posts of that user are still visible in my Forum.
The username is showing as "Guest", the original username related to these Forum-posts is gone.

But that user came back to my Forum 6 months after he requsted his own deletion and is a happy and active user now.
He is now using the same username which he had previously.

Question:
can I merge the old Forum-posts of that deleted user (Guest) with the new active user ?


Appreciate your help!

can I merge the old Forum-posts of that deleted user (Guest) with the new active user ?

No, guest posts don't belong to an account, so they can't be merged with another account.

Thanks, but how ?

The user has not requested the merge so move on and don't worry about an issue a member has not even raised.

i do all possible for my users... if have any choice ok !

It's possible the user would not even want the merge. I have had that happen before.

If you must you would need to hire someone knowledgeable.

It's not possible without database surgery.

someone else can get the same username. This is a problem
