Solved Change ownership of forum

Post by boithok.admin December 4th 2009, 11:04 pm

Hi,

Can the ownership of the forum be changed? I am the founder and, just for the sake of knowledge, I would like to know whether there is any way to change the ownership of the forum without sharing the password and the account, that I used to create my forum, with anybody else.

Can I remove myself from the Admin group? And if I remove myself from the Admin group, as a founder shall I have any special rights over the Administration issues, if the ownership is not changed?

I have found a thread somewhat related to my question.
Code:
http://help.forumotion.com/other-problems-f46/can-the-founder-of-the-forum-be-deleted-t59333.htm

But, unfortunately, the replies do not ooze confidence. So, I am asking this question again. Please help.

Regards,
boithok.admin

There is no way unless you give the user the info to your account and make them change the info to what they want.

This is the only way to do it, as Zoids has said you cannot delete the founding account.
