Description of problem

Hello,
is there an option how could I change the forum master/ founder and give this permission to the other account? I do not think the rank of admin.

Thank you.

~sorry for my english~

Hello,

I'm not sure to understand what you're being after. Do you want to TAKE the ownership of a forum in which the founder isn't you, or do you want to GIVE the ownership to another person in your own forum ?

You can use a translator to understand what I told you, or even try to express in your language in the translator and then translate to English. We will do our best to be understandable.

Best regards.

I want to give someone the ownership. And I'm very sorry for my English.

Thank you.

it is easy to give your forum account to some one else.

you can do it in 2 ways.

First way:
log in as the founder and send a PM to the one you want to hand the forum over to ask that member to send you a NEW Email address that is not used on any of forumotion forums, Once you have that address you log on to your profile and change the Email address and make up a new password to the founders account. you then send a PM to the member you want to take over the account and send him / her the password to that account. The will then log off of the account and then log in to the founders account.

They then need to change the password to something they want and will remember and then you are done.

second way:
You can change the password of your account then send a PM to the one you want to hand the account to with the new password.

The new founder then should log in to your account and go to the ACP and change the Email address and password of your old account and then your done.

 Note:

You will need to do this on your forum and in your Forum Utilities

So if I change the owner, can be my account deleted? Because I'm trying and it doesn't works and I'm still owner...
I know this is my mistake... but I can't find solvation...

You are giving your account to the new founder.

And is there posibillity to give ownership to new account?

NO you can not delete the founders account it is the one account that can not never be deleted.

You have to give the account you use to the member and you never log in on it again.

If you follow the steps I have gave you then once the other member has logged in to the account and changed the Email address and password then you can not log in to the account no more as he will be the only one that has the Email address and password.

best way to do this is.

log in as the founder then send the new founder the following

Username:
Password:

then tell the new founder to log in on your account and change the Email address and password on your account.

once he or she has done this then you will no longer be the founder and your account will no longer be yours and you will have gave all your right's to that member you them have no right to even try and log in again on that account.

It is as easy as that.

Ok, thank you very much!
