Were can I find this & change the settings. Is it in the VB admin control panel?

Sorry, you are not allowed to edit administrator permissions.

If you think you should have permission to access this page, you will need to edit the $config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] variable in the includes/config.php file.

To allow the administrators to access this page, edit the variable to include the user IDs of those administrators should have access, separating each user ID with a comma, like this:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,25,57';

To allow only a single administrator to access this page, simply add that user's ID with no commas, like this:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1';

the config.php file is in the root of your forums directory. ftp it down to a pc (or edit on the server if you have the ability) to make the changes.

The config.php file is actually listed in the includes folder in the root of your forums directory.

Thanks for the fast reply. Can I access the forums directory by entering my website domain/cpanel or do I need have direct acess to the server. My website is on my friends dedicated server and he out of town. Do I need his server info to access the forums directory? Thanks

You need FTP access.

Umm.. if you have cPanel access to the domain, using File Manager will work.

Use an ftp client to download it..
Or better still dreamweaver to edit it while connected..
