Hi! I just imported my users.. and they're duplicated o_0
Half I guess has Imported_ in front of their names.

Is there a faster way to remove them than search for "imported_" and remove one, then search "imported_" and remove another.. and so on.. got like 300+ users that's duplicated =\

EDIT: All the usernames on posts is the Imported_"username" users!
Is there a way to fastly change/switch them to their regular name? =\
Really don't wanna do this manually.. even that i don't know how i will do..

This will happen if there are duplicate usernames, if they are the same user merge on email address.

Hmm, when merging, since the imported_"username" user is the one with all the posts.. or do both have posts and stuff? the final name has to be imported_"username" if not.. odd. Should really be the other way around...

Forget about it..I'm buzzing -_-

I really don't understand what you just said. : confused:

Merging on email is a way of linking up data from two boards onto one, that belong to the same person.

Will do :)
