Trouble with admin Empty Trouble with admin

Hello everyone! Smile

I have a simple problem I think but I couldnt find the answer anywhere.

My friend who is the admin of the forum granted me admin but well I have no admin rights but I see admin title.

I checked to see if he made a group called "admin" and didnt give powers but there are no groups called admin at least I dont see any. And btw I am a mod too on the forum.

Thank you in advance =)

The Admin Group is Hidden?
Tell him to go to Admin Panel>>Users & Groups>>Groups>>Click the Admin Group then Modify it>>Click Closed Group>>Then add your name to the group.

This will give you the power to the Admin Panel.

Well the RANK (the shiny bar) is different than being added to the Admin group.
He should go into Users and groups>
find your user name>
Click on the permissions tab above your username
and the use the drop down menu for USER LEVEL
2 options are administrator or user.
he should assign the admin one and hit save

Try removing your name again and then putting it back but do this>>Admin Panel>>User & Groups>> Users>> Your Name>>Give the rank of Admin

Then Users & Groups>>Groups>>Admin Modify>> then put your name. This should work.
