Is it possible to merge two user accounts, and if so how?

    why would you do that? why not make a new one?

    Because I have an admin account, that I installed Vanilla on. However I also imported my forum from phpBB where my normal account was on, so now there's two instances of me in the system...

    you could run a query to replace all the admins comments userid with your user id and then just use your user. Probably the best way. Keep the admin account too just incase.

    give the old account a role as admin?

    @mini - I'll give that a whirl.

    @lament - I have this fixation of always being user ID #1 on any board I create. Some ego power thing I think. =)

    /me uses the backdoor he built into the migrator to hack chris's forum and steal the 1z0r

    This would make for a pretty sweet administrative extension. For whoever decides to write this one: Be sure to check every single table in Vanilla to make sure that you catch every single UserID that needs to be altered. There is a UserID column in almost every table.

    Or make it a default thing with Vanilla mark? ;-)
