    In progress Locked out of my own forum :-(

    Post by stine1 September 30th 2015, 1:09 pm

    Hi,
    I do own the forum http://stine1.userboard.net/ and I cannot log in anymore. My password for my user name got changed and not by me. Also, the email address has been changed so I cannot request a new password or do anything :-(
    Is there a way (security question maybe?) to get back access to my administrator account?

    Thanks, will try. But there is not even a login button on forumotion.com - it's all about creating a new forum.
    Very frustrating and probably not worth the effort.

    I have a similar issue. I am testing my forum before go live of my website. The forum (parktreeproductions.forum-pro.co.uk) is showing as locked at the bottom of the page to a new user who is helping with testing. We have already gone through the Tutorial How to Unlock your Forum Post by Caihlem on January 24th 2009, 2:30 pm and the settings match that on the Tutorial.

    Any suggestions of what I should do to sort this issue out.

    That does not apply to the whole forum, but forums on your forum that are locked.
