Sorry, you don't have permission to access the administrative controls on this page.

If you need to access this page, ask your lead administrator to enable your permissions

for this page using the Administrator Permissions section of the control panel.


then i clicked on the link for Adminstrator Permissions and it says this:


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';


Heres the big problem:

1) i'm the only administrator....there is no other lead administrator
2) i can't access any of the functions to figure out what my newly merged user ID is!


FYI, this happened with the old AE detector once i installed VB3.8.2 but then when i created a new administrator account and merged the old one over it corrected the problem....now i'm getting this wierd error message i didnt get before.

PLEASE HELP

There's no reason why this modification should have totally jacked up your board. It sounds like you're running a poorly coded modification along-side it. One that is active during posting.

Nonetheless, it seems like you're in quite a situation, so I'll try to help as much as possible. You will need to be able to view the member list, so as long as it is enabled for members, you'll be okay. Just find your account by searching through the members. Whenever you find it, the link to your profile should contain your User ID. Once you get your ID, use it for what you were planning to.

That should do it, although I'm utterly confused as to why you would create a new account and merge your administrator account with it...
