He/She would need to give you access to his/her account ie give you the password - This is going to hard though if he/she wants to remain on the forum as they would always be number 1 - You would have to have their password then rename that account so that it becomes yours. The reason for this this is that they are #1 Member who would always be seen/viewed as the founder or root admin You could then rename your existing account to use his/her original name All quite complicated but it's the only way and is what I had to do with our orginal forum |

As the above post says, right now the only way is to be given the head admin's account. Since this account has abilities no other does and ownership of it is considered ownership of the board, you need to be sure you want to do this and not just have the person make you an admin. Do this only if the person is sure that he/she is permanently leaving and just won't be able to administrate the board anymore. The person should first go to the Member #1 account profile and take out e-mail address, messenger contacts, and anything else that the person won't want remaining when another person has control of the account. This step is so that he/she doesn't leave any personal information. The person should first change the password to something temporary so that it won't be used elsewhere. Then you should change it again when you receive the account. Make sure the password is given securely. Finally, be sure to announce that this account now belongs to a different person clearly to the board, so that members are not confused. |
