WHile I understand not being able to recreate the account (and then "stealing" credit for all the posts made by the old user) it shouldn't just blank out the information.. how about marking it as "banned" and turning the background red? (BTW, if you delete a user, what happens to all the posts they made? Do the by-fields all turn blank?) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/deleting-users#post-539 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 08:03:56 +0000 ear1grey 539@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I've also seen the "No role for this blog" message and I'm making an educated guess that when you delete a user it's only marked as deleted, and not removed (because I tried something similar on one of my installations). I ended up going in to mysql and editing the tables by hand, so that I didn't have the need to delete the user any more... i just put it down to a "pre1.0ism". </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/deleting-users#post-536 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 06:52:20 +0000 nolageek 536@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>btw, my installation is at <a href="http://overnights.org" rel="nofollow">http://overnights.org</a> - come log on while I figure this out.. overnighters, unite! :) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/deleting-users#post-535 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 06:51:26 +0000 nolageek 535@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>FOr some reason, when I created a new user I never got the e-mail. After trying a few times, unsucessfully to resend the e-mail I deleted the user so that I could re-create it. Immediately after clicking Submit I got an User Not Found message.</p> <p>Now, my user list contains a blank entry:</p> <p>ID Username Registered Since Actions<br /> 0 Edit</p> <p>If I try re registering, it wont let me use that name again. (Name is invalid)</p> <p>Also, why does it say "No role for this blog" in the user list? </p>
