As of some time on Saturday your forum control panel. e.g. the one on: http://www.myfreeforum.org/ will be upgraded. Amongst the useful new features, will be the ability to restore yourself as admin of your forum. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

Have just done the initial tesing on this, and if the orgininal admin was banned, made inactive, ip banned, demoted, then they can instantly get back to where they were. Even if they were deleted from the system, they can get back in and will have their posts restored, albeit some profile information will be lost. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

Only to a small degree! I am quite pleased with this, but it does not stop a rogue admin totally trashing your board.

Looks like a good one! I have an alter ego who is also admin, if I step out of line I become the other me and tell myself off! It is also handy incase I trash my account or someone else does. _________________ \| Royal Marines Online \| Royal Marines Forum \| Quick look busy, admin is coming

That is a very good feature, admin, although I doubt my Co-Admin would ban me.

Well in theory it is installed. One bit of good news is that what is in there now, is seamlessly upgradable to add more features. We have been running on an outdated version of our admin software, as basically the upgrade was bound to have a glitch when installed, and stop people creating forums for a few minutes or more, depending on how big a glitch it was. As expected this happened but now it is working again it should be easier to add more. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

It is not in the forum admin panel. You have to login via:

http://www.myfreeforum.org/

This is totally separate and hence only visible to the owner and not other admins.

It won't be done at all

Just realised that bit is missing. Your footer is however there, and in a few minutes will be live.

It will then always be instant.

sorry about that.
