Can't add new administrators
As title, I have tried changing the user permissions and also adding them to the "Admin Group" but it just reverts back when I click "add". Am I just being stupid?

Re: Can't add new administrators
Hi there,
The only time when I can think of it doing that is when you have misspelled the username you are trying to add or the user doesn't exist.

Re: Can't add new administrators
Are you doing this in the administration panel?

I'm picking the username from the list, so no misspelling and they definitely exist!
Yes I'm doing it via the administration panel.

Don't copy and paste the names as this can sometimes put a space at the start or end of the name type it as it is on the forum.
Re: Can't add new administrators
I am definitely not misspelling the names, or putting a space anywhere. I put the name in, click "add member" and it takes me back to the home admin page with no warning or error messages.

Also, if I go to the user, and modify their permissions so they are an Administrator, and save, it again takes me back to the home admin page and doesn't save it. One of the members was an admin, and I don't remember taking them off, so it's almost as though the number of admins is being limited.

Re: Can't add new administrators
Yes it could be down to the browser or mobile setting that is used on tablets.
Re: Can't add new administrators
It could be that the tablet is having an issue keeping your session up to date. If you are in the AP for a long time and not clicking any links or buttons, your session will expire. When you try to do something, it will load the AP homepage.

Re: Can't add new administrators
Yes, thanks. I did press "Mark Solved" earlier, and it seemed to accept that, but I can see it's not done it. Strange.
