you don't get rights of ownership when you donate money

It all depends on the deal they struck when he donated the money. As with anything like this, there are always 2 sides to the story. Until you hear both sides, then all you can do is cast an opinion on everything.

Which is what I'm doing

Sadly, I'm pretty sure we aren't going to hear both sides of this story, would be nice though.

I really don't want to know anymore, to be honest.

Tried that fix ^^^ and it didn't work. I'm still a normal user. He won't give me his log in details so I can't make myself admin.

Help please.

I thought when you edited the config file in VB you set yourself (ie member 1) as an undeletable user, thought this meant you couldn't be demoted as an admin by any other user? I could be wrong

Sorted. There was a reset admin status option in the tools page.

Thanks.

Nuke him. Regardless of what he may have contributed to the site to try to steal it is totally unacceptable.

Go to PHPMyAdmin, or whatever MySQL manager you use, select the Database, click on the "user" table, click "View Data", find your account there, where it says "Usergroup ID", write "6" there. After that you should be in the root administrator usergroup!

P.S. Good luck in restoring your site!

OK. Sorted. I'm admin again.

I was going to change him to registered user and I get this:


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