Hello,
I am an Admin user for our forum, and need emails for forgotten passwords etc sent to me, however, the forum was created by my predacessors, and so I can't change certain settings.
The 'admin' account has a non-valid email address, but I cannot change it even though I have full admin rights.
Is there anyway of removing the original admin account and keeping the live accounts as they are (with their full admin permissions) ?
All you help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. |

As you're already an admin, all you'll need to do to make yourself the superadmin is change the value of the intAdminMemberID constant found in config.asp to your MEMBER_ID.

I have a similar problem. I want to change the email address of the admin that is given at the bottom of the text displayed when someone attempts to register. I've changed the email address of my admin user (who has MEMBER_ID of 1). I've even tried adding a new admin user and putting their MEMBER_ID in intAdminMemberID in config.asp. But I'm always left with the original email address. The forum variable STRSENDER is always the original email address. Do I have to run some sort of setup again? I've tried restarting IIS. Is there a caching problem?
It seems that one solution might be to manually change the C_VALUE of STRSENDER in table FORUM_CONFIG_NEW, but is there an 'official' way to achieve this?

| Have you changed the e-mail address in the Email Server Configuration option in the Admin Options? That could be the e-mail address that is displayed. |
