Hello Beth,

That is the current behavior of EasyDiscuss because if we do not update the user, the data will be an orphan record. Perhaps you could create a temporary user which will be the owner for these orphan records. You can configure the orphan settings from the back end of EasyDiscuss under Settings > Maintenance

I have this set to a user called "Deleted Account," but it's still showing my name and user, not that account. And because I am not able to see all the posts that are attributed to my user in the back end (see my other issue logged yesterday), I can not review everything and correct it manually.

This is a pretty giant hole in forum moderation.

Hello Beth,

This would not affect posts that are already updated. It only applies for future posts where the user account is deleted. Hm, I don't see why is this a hole as most forum software has such features otherwise the forum will look pretty bad when a user is deleted.

I've had this set for a very long time, I haven't changed it any time recently. What I am saying is that what it is set to is not working, it is reverting to my user ID. At least that is how it appears, as the comments are showing up under my name.

The hole is not the orphan control, it's that I can't get to a list of discussions and comments attributed to my user name (or any other user) in one place and edit or modify them as the administrator to the correct user. If I notice this is wrong, I can't fix it in any way other than navigating slowly and painfully through the front end one at a time, which is impossibly tedious with more than 10,000 active users on a busy site.

Hello Beth,

Yes, and I do think there needs to be a way to filter discussions from specific users at the back end. As of now, I would strongly suggest that you filter your discussions by viewing your own profile within EasyDiscuss so you can see a list of posts that you have created and replied.
