Hey guys. I installed Drupal, I'm loving it. I imported a phpBB2 into drupal using an import script. Worked great for the most part. There is just one problem, when I assigned myself to my username that came from the phpBB but it got messed up, now all my posts under my username made on the PhpBB2 show up as anonymous. I was wondering if there was a way I could go to a message I know I wrote(but is now anonymous) and someone reclaim that user and all content associated with them and link it to myself as the admin?

I hope that didn't sound too complicated. :)

If you are logged in as user 1, you can edit any post or comment and change its author.

Or, you can go to the database, browse the "node", "node_revisions" and "comments" tables, and set the "uid" field to the user ID of the author you want. (or the opposite, set the author's uid in "users" to whatever those posts have, if it is more convenient and acceptable.)

While

set the author's uid in "users" to whatever those posts have

may work, do not attempt for user id's 0 or 1.
