    Solved Problem with moderator username change

    Post by sparkles3020 Tue 30 Mar - 14:32

    Forum is https://pspnuttersinn.forumotion.com/forum
    Version is phpBB3. I am an administrator.

    This is concerning a member who is also a moderator. She had asked me as admin to change her username from Pamela 7 to Pamela. I did that but I did not take username Pamela 7 off as moderator before changing the username. The board she is moderator of still shows the username as Pamela 7 (in the admin panel) even though no such username exists. We tried setting up a new board with Pamela as moderator but it defaults to Pamela 7. She hasn't been in since we noticed the problem so I don't know if username Pamela has moderator privileges or not.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    hello

    go admin panel..users and groups ..groups
    go to the moderator's group click the yellow modify icon
    remove the pamela7 if it exists and add the pamela

    if you have ranks do the same with the ranks

    go to pamela's profile from users and groups ..users management ..scroll down her profile and check the
    Current memberships : moderators
    if you have ranks see also the last field
    Rank title : moderators

    Is the issue only that the username did not change for the board she was the moderator of?  Did you set the default option for this or added the moderators' usernames manually?

    I think they were being added by default. The advice given here worked. Thank you so much.
