Hello,

When you are an admin on the board. Your allowed to switch who posted stuff. That is what I am trying to do with one post. But however when I click submit, I get this error

The submitted form was invalid. Try submitting again.

Any ideas as to why?

Thanks,
Evo

I click the button on the post - Type in my username - Click submit - Receive error.

are you sure you are entering the username correctly? you could always try the find member link and see if that works

Evo · **Posted:** August 4th, 2008, 5:01 pm

@Ashley I did and it does nothing.

Ashley.S. · **Posted:** August 4th, 2008, 5:57 pm

right...ok then, are you sure have the correct permissions to allow you doing it and you are doing the following below:

viewing the forum you wish to change poster > clicking on the mod CP > clicking post details on the post you wish to edit >change poster details > click confirm

Yes, I have correct permissions. I am founder of board.

Strange one this. I use this facility all the time on my two boards without any problem. It's not as though it's difficult process but it does sound as though the form is being rejected by php.

MD: Could this be style problem? I thought the ACP was a fixed style so what effects one user would effect us all.

I would like to use it :s_cry

have you tried changing your style? as PanHandle said...it could be a style problem as I have no troubles doing it on my forums

Evo · **Posted:** August 6th, 2008, 6:44 pm

@Ashley : No I didn't change the style as everything I have made has been for that style. I will wait to hear from an admin (hopefully soon)

Thanks :s_thumbsup

hopefully md will be able to help you furthur, when he gets round to looking into this and will keep you updated on this situation

This may sound an odd question but are you signed in with administrator privileges when trying to change the name of a poster? You said...

If you're already signed in under one user name and try and change one of your postings to the same user name that may present a conflict. To use this facility you need to be signed as administrator and the forum must have Administrators in the forum permissions.

I only have one account on my board. That's the administrator(founder) account!

Ashley.S. · **Posted:** August 11th, 2008, 7:10 am

this may sound weird but...have you allowed any other users to be founders, and have they fiddled with your account permissions so you are no longer a founder or have altered your permissions so you cannot allow you to what you want to do
