Well, I had a friend merge a database to a new forum, and the posts got all mixed up, how can I edit who posted what on a thread? Like say I posted something, but a different user shows up, how would I change it so it's me who said it again without deleting the post?

do the second thing then. IN your Admin CP go to tools and maintenance then recount and rebuild and do it for all the things listed there.

go to mybb.com ask there because i think he kinda replaced your User ID in phpmyadmin you was suppose to merge DB not import them. Do you have a back-up before the import? If so restore it then merge the new DB with it more details can be found at MyBB.com

I can't merge it, the user is active and has a decent amount of posts
