Thank you :)

Nice idea. I hate the fact undeletable users can't be edited. Though I prefer just to have one super admin so it doesn't really matter for me.

The code in the hack makes sense but for some reason doesn't work. I might have done something wrong though.

Did you find and replace both instances?

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

Hmm.. Hold on, I'll take a look at what the problem might be...

I can't figure out why it doesn't work =/

Give me a minute please...

Sure thing, I've just been going through the code to see if there was anything causing a problem, but I couldn't find anything, then again I don't know much about php.. lol
