MyBB Community Forums

So I registered my domain with host gator and did a quick installation for mybb. I couldn't seem to log in to the adminCP so I contacted host gator support. They helped me log in.

The problem I have is I do r know how to login to the forum so I can post. I also can't seem to log in when I click the tabs at the top and it prompted me to log in to the adminCP again and my password was incorrect.

The question I have is do I have to register myself as a user to be able to post or can I do it through the CP? And since I already registered my admin account with my username do I have to choose a different name? Also if I register as a user will I still have admin rights? The thing I am insure of is if the admin has two accounts. Like for the CP and an admin user (so I can post on the forum).

If you have any tutorials or videos I can use to help that would be great.

Thanks

What's your forum URL?

An administrator only needs one account. They can access both the ACP and the forums.

Edit: delayed response
you do not have to register yourself (again). installation includes your membership account.
see login & logout problems guidance

My domain is acegamers.org.

You cookie path is incorrect. It should be a single forward slash, not a double forward slash.

The thing is that i don't understand how to do what that thread says to do. Could someone help me?

I downloaded an FTP client and I cant seem to figure out how to FTP to my site.

How did you install MyBB?

oh! it was a quick installation and no one is registered at the forum (0 registered members)
it is better to do regular installation instead of the quick one. see doc: Installing, video

I fixed the issue. Thanks guys
