In the database itself though, the userid is the main, and only, unique identifier for users. The username field isn't marked as having to be unique for some reason, I guess vB takes care of that instead to prevent users with the same name.

Hang on, if you're not the Rei Rei, then who are you?
Are you the Mederu/Tiffiekins/whatever other names she's used Rei or a completely different Rei?
"As the days go by, we face the increasing inevitability that we are alone in a godless,
uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
I remember you!
Rainecloud: No, this is a different Rei. In fact, I think he's a he.
It's actually not very hard; you just have to know the user's old ID number and then you can transfer all PMs, posts, and whatever by that user to the new userid. I've done it several times. It's still a pain in the arse though.Originally posted by Dr Unne
You can likely change a user's id # if you directly alter the database. And you'd likely seriously mess crap up doing so. Restoring deleted accounts is likely impossible short of doing a full database restore from a backup.
And yes, this Rei is male. And I remember him. Welcome back, btw.
You are assuming you've not done any admin maintenance in the mean time though, as that could delete PMs/edit the userid on "floating posts" to 0 so you can't link them back to the original user.
I am indeed male, and thanks, Man.
Dude, I totally remember Rei. He was a badass.
I don't *feels stupid or left out*
Well, Poster Formerly Known As Pureghetto, if I remember right, you stayed around Eyes on Each Other a lot, and that place is, like, the anti-me. So, you wouldn't.
