Not sure what the deal is. I am running ver 3.4.03 using Access. I am logged in as the head honcho admin. I am trying to implement Nathan's 'Active Users' mod but for whatver reason, when I try to click on the 'Mod Setup' link, or 'Alternative Mod Setup', i get this error message:
There has been a problem!
Only the Forum Admin can access this page
Now, I had messed up a user at the beginning where the Admin was designated UserID=1, but i dinked it up and am not sure if i changed myself (Chief Admin) back to userID 1 or if i changed the appropriate asp page to denote UserID=4 as 'Chief Admin'.
I hope this makes sense. Some of the terms are not accurate but I think you see what I am getting at. I looked through the forums a while back and I thought I read somebody's post saying that AntiVirus could play a role but I uninstalled Norton and rebooted my server so I am still at a loss.

Did you change the Const intAdminMemberID in config.asp. If not find this code (approx line 67):
'#################################################################################
'## If you have deleted the default Admin account, you may need to change the
'## value below. Otherwise, it should be left unchanged. (such as with a new
'## installation)
'#################################################################################
Const intAdminMemberID = 1
And change '1' into your current id number |

| That means you're not the SuperAdmin. You need to change config.asp, line# 79 and set the intAdminMemberID constant value to your user id, so that you become the SuperAdmin. |

Well, it has been a while since I first installed the forums and so I havent messed with the configs at all, which is a good thing!
I had implemented an account for Super Admin. I didnt like the user name so I deleted the account. Oops, I was d1nkin around and should have just left the account in place. I came here an realized I should just create a different user and change the ID from 1 to 4, ie 1=Deleted user
4=newly created user that I wanted to use as Super Admin.
Now this is where I thought it got fuzzy. I can't recall if i tried to get 'newly created user's id to be '1' and then switch the config to note the relationship. If I remember correctly, you cant because its autonumber datatype. Hmmm...does this help? I will check the details so that I am not constantly speculating. Thanks for the tips, and I will be back mentioning what I find.
As far as Super Admin, I have all the rights to change/alter/do whatever in the 'Admin' section. I figured I was super admin. It never occured to me that I was anything else. |

Sorry bout double posting.
Yes, in config.asp, intAdminMemberID=5 hence the ID of the user I wanted to be 'Super Admin'.
This is the problem? If i change it to 1 and the field in the dbase->members->id is datatype=autonumber, how do I change the user with ID 5 to ID 1?? Argh.
Ok, sorry to waste your time, the admin numbers didnt match. I was off by 1. I think I can handle it from here.
