I have to migrate a forum from bbPress to Discussions, and there is no migrator for that. Is there a way to change the owner of a reply? I see I can change the owner of a topic, but that's it.

Since I have to manually re-create the forums, I need the ability to change who posted the reply in a topic. Any suggestions would be helpful
Yes, I think I figured out a way. For anyone else this is what I have been doing:

Export old Topics, Posts, Replies as .csv file from old site
Export Discussions/Posts table from myPHPamin in .csv format
Copy/Paste the required data from old .csv to new .csv
Import the combined .csv to the Discussions/Posts table

Hello Spartan,

Hm, unfortunately it is not possible to change owner of a reply but you could change it through the database though. You can update the column user_id with the appropriate user id on the site.
