I co-created a forum: http://cncnfriends.forumotion.com/ back in 2007. I was given admin rights at the time but I since stopped using the forum. The forum has since not been active in anyway since about 2009 (last post), except for the occasional random joins by people unknown. A few years back I got a notification that the administration had changed but I did not do anything as I thought i'd just be able to leave the forum as easily as unsubbing from a mailing list. However I cannot even leave the forum as I cant log in.
I keep getting emails on the original email I used but not the founding email (a person i've not had contact with since 2009). I know therefore that the email for that account is correct, but when I click forgot password, the system wont allow me to reset my password as I get this message:
The security 'Disallow admin to send new password' is active in Admin Panel > General Admin > Security
I know I would never have set this as I often reset my passwords if I have forgotten it. I dont think the original admin would have done so either.
I have tried the alternative ways to get in and reset passwords but I was never given the initial users email used for the founding email.
I'm not worried about the forum although I have been asked by other users to have it shut down if possible, so if gaining control of the forum is not possible, can I at least get control of my own profile and leave the forum.
I tried to sort this out about a year ago but I was in a bit of a state and did not write coherantly, and it just sounded annoyed.
