Topie: I believe I removed myself from being an admin ..
September 11th, 2007 05:24 PM
Bigwhiz Hello all you wonderful people :)

I just created a new forum today and was playing around w/ the settings. I made the wrong assumption that Super Moderation was greater than an Admin. After I logged out, I've been unable to log back in.

Here is the url to the forum:

http://s3.excoboard.com/exco/index.php?boardid=6102

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated :)

SivoxII Hey Bigwhiz!

Hmm, doesn't sound good! ... unfortunately I've not run in to this much, so I'm sure some other experienced members will be along shortly to give you clearer direction. I would say contact Peter (Exco Developer) ... but hold fire until others clarify what you should do.

Good Luck! :)

September 11th, 2007 05:36 PM
Bigwhiz Thank you very much for the quick response :)
September 11th, 2007 05:38 PM

slayer1927 Hey not a bad board.I think the theme and skin can be changed.
September 11th, 2007 05:41 PM
Bigwhiz Hehe yes ... skin and theme is temporary.

BluAngelGrrl Yes, in this case the ONLY thing you can do is to contact Peter. Send him a PM from HERE.....

Title it REMOVED MYSELF AS ADMIN
Then in the body of the PM give him the following information:
The URL to the board that you are an Admin of.
The EXACT Username you have there, with proper spelling and capitalization.
The Email address you used to SIGN UP for the board.
Details of what you did and how you did it (Removed self as admin while in User Administration.


If he needs any other information, he will ask you for it.

portyporty Hello Bigwhiz, I have done the same and Peter came to the rescue, I have a backup admin login, just in case it happens again. ;)
September 11th, 2007 06:29 PM
bunk I also have a "Test" acct set as admin in case something goes haywire with my main acct..... You should prob do this as well Bigwhiz........
September 11th, 2007 06:51 PM
Bigwhiz Very good idea ... I shall do such once Pete has come to the rescue :)

Edit:

Oops, I meant Peter. I think my "r" button is failing -.-
September 11th, 2007 06:54 PM
SivoxII Never thought of him as a "Pete" :D

Yeah, backup is the key word to forum life (whether it be scripts/templates/graphics/controls etc. etc.)
