Back to the original problem I raised at the start of this thread (albeit with us now realising what has happened thanks to some work by Cath)

1.  A user has deleted their account, which has then in turn "orphaned" replies to their posts/topics.
2.  Those people with orphaned posts then get 7 days to do something about it (which is too short and I like the suggestion from Graham on what to use in future)

So for now we've managed to move a couple of posts and Cath will look to sort the others out.  There is however a problem in that even as the forum owner, I cannot take care of these posts myself - I just don't get the option to move the post unless I actually wrote that post.

It would be helpful to be able to do this as the forum owner, because as Cath mentioned above, most of our users will not be able to sort this out for themselves, and so I'd rather be able to have some form of option as the forum owner to be able to take care of all these orphaned posts.

Cheers

Ian
