Hi, I am co owner of our forum and have all permissions but neither I or my co-owner can change our avatars or anything on our profiles. There are have been other items too that pop up that says we don't have permission to view as well. We are set as undeleteable in config.php but that should not interfere, I would think, with us changing our own profile signatures or avatars. Do I need to shut the site down and edit the config again? We need to stay undeletable though.

Sorry, this user is protected from being altered in the config.php file by the $config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] variable

and upon viewing a classifieds thread:
Jackie Tomkins, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Suggestions anyone?
Thank you :)

I meant to add that we are running vb 4.2.2 pl4 And the classifieds ads in a tread that we can't (nor can ANYONE see including the ad creator) is Dragonbyte Classifieds 1.1.09 Permissions set to yes all the way down.....

Just remove your userid from the config you dont need to close the site for this then put it back when done use notepad++ for any edits in the config file. But if you go to your own usercp you can do it yourself without making chances to the config

As Force said, using the ModCP or AdminCP you cant edit any "unalterable" user.
Thats why this option exist :p

Tried it and it still won't let me or the other owner/admin. There is a reason we have our ids in the config as undeleteable, we have been hacked before. But this shouldn't keep us from editing our profiles pictures. We have bother tried to do so in the vb admin cp and get the same error.

That's EXACTLY what the setting does, keeps your users from being editable in the AdminCP.

LOL, well it works, I can testify to that :p The reason we wanted to change our profiles is because our signature line make our post areas huge as they drop below the content in the left column...

Thanks for your help :D

You can edit your signatures in your profile, in the frontend.

I can't edit anything at all in my profile frontend or acp. The strange thing is that I am Co Owner/Admin and the other owner/admin also has the same exact permissions and listed as undeleatable also in the config file. Yet, he can edit his on the frontend al of a sudden.

Disable plugins via config if this fixes the problem enable plugins again via config, then disable one plugin at a time until you find the problem one

To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);To enable plugins again just comment out the line
//define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);Use notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.7.5.html) to edit any files
