It seems as if other admins are able to take my power away despite me being the creator and owner of the forums, why is this?
Are you set as a super admin in ./inc/config.php ?
Yes.
/**
* Super Administrators
* A comma separated list of user IDs who cannot
* be edited, deleted or banned in the Admin CP.
* The administrator permissions for these users
* cannot be altered either.
*/
$config['super_admins'] = '1,46';
Super Admins can edit super admins.
Oooh, thanks!
So, if a Super Admin for some reason goes crazy and de-admins me (which would be odd considering it's my fiancée), is there any way another admin can re-admin me, or a way I can get my status back?
Yes, another admin can set your usergroup to admin, You will automatically be super admin because it is set in the config file.
Or,
Go into phpmyadmin and run this query.
UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `usergroup` = '4' WHERE `uid` = '1'
Assuming your UID is 1.
Ah, thank you. [: I s'pose this is now solved.
