The username on the posts does not change when you delete a user.Steve Machol, former vBulletin Customer Support Manager (and NOT retired!)

Hi...
Then why do I get this when I goto delete a user?
Are you sure you want to delete the user called '(s/n)'?
(userid: 17)
All posts made by this user will be set to 'Guest'
This action can not be undone.

The user title will be set to guest and the username will go to a smaller font which is unclickable but the username will still remain unchanged.
For example, this thread contains a guest post:
Compare the way that the username and user title appear in comparison to the username and usertitle of a registered user.Comment

Hello, not sure if this will help you or not...
If you want to keep the ability to search for a deleted users posts and still show their post count you cannot delete the user. That will set their posts as "guest" but will show the former member's name, and the post count becomes "n/a".
In our forum, we created a new usergroup for resigned or deleted accounts. This does not delete the account but allows you to deactivate it as you choose. You could also move the user to the default moderation user group.
This will still allow access to the user's profile but you can keep the name off the memberlist and not change the appearance of threads and posts.
You can also change the user title to reflect whether it is a deactivated user or not.Comment

Sorry, I am really not certain on this...Comment

You cannot set an option so other groups cannot see the Deactivated group members' profiles.Regards,
