    Is there any way that I or someone else can change the profile that a forum post is associated with? I have two forum profiles - "WindowsVista567 - old account," which was recently recovered from an account that I had deleted, and "WindowsVista567," which is my current account. Is there any way to modify the "WindowsVista567 - old account" posts to be tied to the WindowsVista567 account, letting me delete the old account?

    As far as I know, this is not yet possible (accounts can not be really merged).

    I, WindowsVista567, created this post under an account that has since been deleted. If you have any questions about this post, I will respond to them from the "WindowsVista567" account, as I no longer have access to this one. Visit the "WindowsVista567 - old account" profile page for more information.

    I thought that this might work as a solution that was different from merging the accounts, but I guess I was wrong.

    Are you sure that there is no way to edit the profile that a post is connected to? If it is possible to edit a post and for a post's profile information to update along with the user's profile, then are you sure that there is no way to edit a forum post to change the profile?
