Transferring ownership

by skidsolo October 16th 2019, 6:20 pm

Hi guys,

Sorry if I missed this in FAQ but I'm wanting to step down from running my site and would like to know how I transfer ownership to my administrator.

Cheers and thanks.

Hello ^^

Recovery or Change Founder of an Account

Just follow what is written for Case 1 !

Hello,

It's actually pretty simple. You change the email address and password in BOTH the utilities and founder account on the forum. Then you just give them the new login info.

hello

is this solved?

Sorry not to have replied earlier but I've been away on business.

No it's not resolved yet as I'm not sure how to find 'utilities and the 'founder' account. Neither is my administrator whom I wish to pass the site on to. So I'm afraid we need a little more help please!!!

And the forum founder account is whatever account is /u1 on the forum. Wink

Thanks for that both. I'm away on business again for a few days but I'll get to it when I get back and let you guys know how I get on.
Cheers.

Hi guys,

I THINK I've managed to complete the transfer but I'm just waiting for confirmation from the new owner. I'll get back to you when he gets back to me.

Cheers.

Not sure yet. The new owner has been away for a few days but I've sent him a message to let me know. Please keep the thread oprn for a few more days.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Sorry guys. Not sure this is sorted yet. I did everything suggested accept change my email, as I don't have an alternative to use. Also the new owner can't find 'utilities' and I can't find them again either!!!!!!

Thanks. I've sent the link to the new owner and told him to take a look and post here if he can't figure things out.

Is this now solved ?

If yes press the Edit button found on your first post and then press the solved icon then resend the post.

If the new founder needs any help they must ask by making a new account on this support forum and then make a thread of their own.

Hi there,

I'm hoping to speak to the new founder on Skype tonight to confirm he can access the founder account. Please bear with me.

Hey all,

So, I'm stuck with an odd and rather sad problem.
The primary admin of my forum has sadly passed away, but with her gone I'm not sure if it's possible
to transfer ownership.

Any tips?
