Yes.

(2012-06-13, 12:46 PM)Hostpro Wrote: [ -> ]Which username does it choose from?
Every thing is clearly written on the merge page.

(2012-06-13, 12:46 PM)Hostpro Wrote: [ -> ]What UID would it be if I merge 1 and 6?
In your case, UID 6 is a "Source Account" and UID 1 is "Destination Account".

(2012-06-13, 12:46 PM)Hostpro Wrote: [ -> ]Which password would it pick?
After the merge the password would be the same as the password of UID 1

And what would happen to the account with UID 6?

~Hostpro
It will be deleted ofcourse.
So then UID 6 will always be blank?

I haven't done it yet, trying to find out everything about it before I risk it.
Install a copy of MyBB on localhost and test it before implementing it on live.

1)Check if there is any user with UID 1
2)If no one have UID 1, then goto your field and replace your UID with 1 by editing direcly or with the following sql command

update table mybb_users set uid=1 where uid=6;

Don't do this, it will cause many problems. You'll need to update other tables too for it to work correctly and it's probably more hassle than it's worth.

Yes.

Yes.

Thank you for clearing that up, I'll probably do this when I'm home
