Upgrade Messed things up

Wow...... The upgrade changed all my user #'s or something. For instance, one photo uploaded by one member has an entirely other username as the uploader. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Ok.... The numbers appear to be off by 1 user. So #47 is showing #48's name by their photos. Hoping there's an easy way to fix this....

I am using VB 3.5 rc3 fyi

No, the upgrade does nothing to the userids of any sort. If you look at the upgrade.php (at the bottom) there were only 5 MySQL statements, two INSERTs to the settings table, two to create the new cache table and one to update a the version number.

It's possible that it had happened when upgrading to rc3 then. Is there anything I can do besides delete all my photos and start over? That's going to make a lot of people mad. I did add a new admin when setting up rc3 and that one took over the #1 member id#. Any idea what happens if I delete that one? My regular admin id is now #2 instead of 1. Maybe I can just delete that one created just to sit things up and it will renumber?

Well did you recently change integrations or something?

Not too much we can do if your forum changed your userids

You can try my userid import script for users when they import there forums to vb3 from another forum and realign with Photopost

Its in the importers forum. Provided your usernames are still right in Photopost it will go through and redo the userid's to the userid of the forum user with the same name thats in the photopost tables.
