vinoth, 2 problems after the transfer

1. Avatars did not get transfered but thats ok I just told members to re-upload them

2. I dont have FULL Admin Permissions

So I set up MyBB and set the admin as admin2 (full admin for the board)

Then I did the transfer and of course the db tables were reset and admin2 was deleted

Now the 2 admins that were transfered across from phpbb dont have full admin rights

Any ideas???
Go to inc/config.php , open the file and you would see like this..........

$config['dbtype'] = 'mysql';
$config['hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['username'] = 'somename';
$config['password'] = 'SOMEPASSWORD';
$config['database'] = 'somename';
$config['table_prefix'] = 'mybb_';

/**

$config['admin_dir'] = 'admin';

/**

* If you wish to hide all Admin CP links

$config['hide_admin_links'] = 0;

$config['cache_store'] = 'db';

$config['super_admins'] = '3';

This is were super administrators are ..................
edit the id and you would get the full rights for an ID and using this id edit other user groups.

That only makes you a superadmin, doesn't have you full permissions. To give yourself full ACP access, please do the following.

ACP -> Users and Groups -> Admin Permissions -> *Username* -> Edit(or Set)

Please make sure everything it set to yes.
Done, thanks. I would assume that I can delete the import folder / files??

Nope i know that but in some cases where after new installtion this error happens, where u might have two or three admin ID's and u try to edit but cannnot as groups might have changed, for that only i told him to set the super admin and then login with that ID and changes the settings.
Hi again!

One thing that I forgot to mention was that after the transfer, smilies have never worked. They are turned on in both admin and user CP and there are smilies in the smilies folder but the smilie box just doesnt appear when posting
Do you have all the Javascript files in the jscripts folder?
