I am stepping down as owner of my forum.... another admin is taking over.
I am user_id 2 ...and I seem to be trapped in my forum... it won't let me leave!!! LOL
I'm on an outdated version.... 141.... phpBB 2.0.23
HelterSkelter helped me relearn how to edit a file on another thread... I was able to get the label of "Board Founder" and the right color to show up on my new owner's account. My account (that was the board founder) is now showing up as an Admin. I changed the user_id from "2" to the new owner's id in the profile files and a block file... that corrected the colors and labels.
The new board founder does not seem to have all the permissions that a founder should have (example, he cannot access Security / special in the acp)
My account CAN still access everything, just as if it was still the board founder...
I do NOT show up in the list of Admins when I look at user groups... but, when I go to the admin panel and click the "admins & mods" list, I DO show up in that admin list.
No one is able to set my account to "user".... they are told they are not allowed to make that change (even the new founder is not allowed).
PROMBLEM: My account is "stuck" on Admin status... I want it on "user" status
PROMBLEM: The new owner does not have all the founder permissons
Are there other files I need to edit???
