Administrator login trouble · **Released**: 08-28-2003

I have been experiencing from the beginning a small but yet annoying problem, maybe that's supposed to be so, but maybe it isn't.

Here's the problem: When i check a users profile, and i want to change the user's settings, i just click on the link User Options link below in the profile.

I am logged in as an administrator, but why on earth do i have to fill in my username & password? That just bugs me, just wondering if that's normal...

(I added 2 attachments to make it a little bit clearer...)

is normal m8

if you log into the board as admin then go to admin panel you have to log in again.
But if u have already logged into the admin panel in the same session as you are on the board and close admin cp down and stay on board.When u go back to admin cp u dont have to log in.

LOL im confusing meself and yeah i agree its very annoying indeed but is just one of lifes little probs we have to live with.

But Super Moderators, don't have that trouble accessing the User Options without having to fill in their username & password.

So why keep bugging the Admin? The admin's cookie already got the info that he's the admin right? So why would it needs to verify that once more? Oh well, i can live with it, but it's very annoying!
