How to add uneditable user to secondary group?

Can someone help me add my main administrator account to a secondary usergroup?

I get this message

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

every time I try to change anything even my forum title. I know the forum is doing its job but I also remember being able to change petty things like title and add to secondary group in the past.

Thanks

Go to ur FTP in the includes folder, find the config.php download it to the desktop and edit it with notepad++ you will find your userid remove it, then upload the file. Change what you need for your account once done replace your userid and upload file again.

So it will be like this

Code:

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

and you will make it look like this

Code:

$config['SpecialUsers']['undeletableusers'] = '';

Well of course. In the past it would allow you to make these edits without changing config right?

Thanks buddy

No, it would not have allowed you to do that as far back as I can remember.

Yeah that's sort of the whole point.

If you had your userid in the same line in older vb4 version you would still need to remove it if changing things from the admincp but if changing your account from the normal settings tab on the forum page it would not matter
