Hello 

I have a question regarding the transfer of forum ownership. I have read the threads on this procedure and understand that posts from the "Admin" account are "transferred" to the successor Admin account (unless something has changed), but what happens to the posts previously made by the successor? Are they still visible under their original account? Thanks for any clarification on this.

Hi

“All posts and PM's remain associated with the account with which they were made and cannot be transferred to a different account.”

This technically is not how it works.  In an ownership transfer, the main admin account itself is transferred from the old owner to the new owner.  The posts made with the admin account stay associated with that account.   All posts made with an account stay associated with the account that made them.

Thank you both, I must have misunderstood what I previously read.
