De.scription and Message

I've recently taken over a gaming website and when I select the link at the bottom of the forum to moderate a particular forum I am taken to a screen with a listing of the posts. When I place a tick in the boxes for the posts and then click on delete I get an error message stating that:

Your Password Was Incorrect, Please Press Back & Try Again.

I'm logged in to my site and I'm even the Administrator! Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies if I've posted in the wrong place

After you login can you login on the admin pannel?

Hi,

Yes I can see the Admin Panel on the left and access all the options. I'm listed as a moderator for all the forums as well as I thought it maybe that, even though I'm an Administrator, but still no joy.

Help!!!

Are you the founder or an admin?

The founder may have set permissions that disallow regular admins to delete posts.

That being said, it could also be a true error.
Have to wait out someone familiar with this I'm afraid.

Well, we took over the site from someone else, so I guess she is the founder, though I've set her to only be a mod now, and me and a mate are admins.

[monkey]

Any advice?

[CaNNon]

I saw something like that once when the Amount of allowed admins did not match.
check, admin > security > special > Amount of allowed admins.
I'm not sure but it's worth checking.

I think your going to want to get that founder acc. back too. I don't think you should be changing things in that one.

[monkey]

I can't get into the "special" security menu.

Again because of not being the founder????

YES... You could solve this only by messing with the database!
If you check phpbb_users you'll find that user_id "-1" is annonymouse, the first user should be user_id "2" (which is the board founder!).
See [url=http]Here[/url]

with phpMyAdmin access you can solve it like this (i would think):
[list type=decimal]
[*] Access database via phpMyAdmin
[*] Go to "phpbb_users"
[*] In top click "browse"
(it will list all users)
[*] Look for and available user_id for the previous founder
(if never a user has been deleted before, just look what's the last and add +1)
[*] Find Change the previous founders user_id to that number
[*] Now find and change your own user_id to 2
(theoretically this would make you Board Founder I think)[/list]

I would make sure for this first though, but letting the Staff confirm this!!! Wouldn't want a security feature I don't know about ban you or something!


Hope it helps though <img>


PS: You "could" test on a localhost for once!

[monkey]

looking now...

[monkey]

Ok, found the founder - username of "Twitchy" and her id is 2. What do I change it to?

Or should I find me and set me to 2 first?

Can I have 2 board founders??

[monkey]

Ok, I now understand to change twitchy's ID to one higher than the highest number.

I can't have more than 1 board founder it seems which is shit.

[monkey]

I FUCKING LOVE YOU NGAGE!

YOU ARE THE MAN!

IT WORKED!

Thanks thanks thanks!

[monkey]

Or rather, Danke Shun.
