I have got myself an admin, and I forgot how to do it. So I went into the "User Groups" and clicked on "Moderators" and I added someone. But when they log in, at the bottom screen their color is blue when Mods are supposed to be pink. Did I do this wrong or something? Thanks!

Hummm, is the person is in another rank that is more important (the blue)?

Not, that I know how because when he is logged on he is neither the Administartor color nor the Mod?

No , I think you need to edit their Profile , and you will see this:
''Give Rank for this member''
Select Moderator and then go on Permission and give them Permission to control their forum.

K I will try it thanks!

Remeber to give them Permission , so they can be a REal Mod.

When I go into their profile in the Administartation Panel, went into users/groups, went into the users and clicked on hims name, then I clicked on the tab called "Permissions" and this appeared, "You can change the informations related to the users. You just have to click on the user’s nickname. You can also send him an email or a pm by clicking on his address."
What does this mean I have to do?

Just click on User's nickname , and do it again , be sure go here:
Your forum's URL's/admin/index.forum?part=users_groups&sub=users&mode=user&mode=user&u=1&extended_admin=1&sid=34cbbc80dce769a01f0b8f3bac80c551

K, but what if he doesn't have a "nickname"? These are the options I have:

tems marked with a * are required unless stated otherwise.
Username : *
E-mail address : * Send e-mail Send a pm
New password : *
You only need to supply a password if you want to change it
Confirm password : *
You only need to confirm your password if you changed it above

Which ones should I change?

Just delete him then , I think their will show their nickname next time and you can do it.

I don't want to risk it, so could you try and figure out another way because that is that is there. Its cays his current membership is moderators and do you think I could change the rank title to admin and a nother question is how do I make more things to show up where the who is online instead of just "Admin" and "Moderator"? Thanks for your help!

Look i didn fully understand what you said but i think that the person you made a moderator is also an admin (thats why he is with blue... because admin is a higher ranked user group)

If you wanna have more groups show on the bottom of the page you make tha groups and then you sellect Color Group Members ?: yes

This is Right: This user is Moderator

What the heck guys. You guys explain nothing to me. Tell me how to change a dude from a regular player( I know he is a regular player because he is logged in neither color pink(mod) or blue(admin)).

And, where in administration panel do I go to make more things that show up for example: Admin Mod Vetran Star

Please explain better!

Ok , Admin panel>User&Group> Users> Click on their nickname.

After that , go on Permission and Select User Level:''User''

What is their nickname and the only thing I have their is administarotor and no special rank assingned. How do I fix? thanks!

Hey im trying to make someone a mod but when i try to select their rank title the only selections are regular poster and admin? Where is the mod rank?

Have you created the Moderator rank? If not go to admin panel=>Users & Groups=>Ranks=>Rank Administration and press the "create a new rank" button. Choose "Set as Special Rank" Yes and leave the "minimum posts" empty.

hi there to u all,,, can someone help me please.....

I'm admin on my forum. and I would like to have red color all the time when I write.... I tryed to find that option but I couldn't....... can someone help me ?

Well as far as I know you can't have a permanent color. You have to choose the color you want to write in every time you write.

yes I want that... I want my color all the time to be red one how i set that please?

I already posted above

but u write to me: You have to choose the color you want to write in every time you write.

So I want to use RED one every time I write.... In my forum....

How I do that ?

thanks for answers

You can use this tag.

Code:

[color=red] your text here[/color]

replace your text here with any text you want and post it in your forum.

Excuse me, but I'm really getting lost here now. I set up my new account, I am Administrator. I had one person join, I have not been notified of them joining, I thought I would... guess I'll have to just check every hour to change all the individual settings for each person. I want to make this new user Moderator, and like the above post I cannot find the options you mention with having her password.
Shouldn't there just be a button to click on by her name to make her a moderator for my forum?
Thanks
Tim

Well, that really messed things up. I followed your instructions above, now I have a new group called Moderators, plus the new person is listed below that with permissions to moderate and my forum message disappeared. I don't get the purpose of all this. I believe this is way out of my league. I'll go back to hard-coding HTML.

Thanks
Tim

I remind that double posting isn't tolerated unless separated by 24 hours, you can use the edit button
and to answer your question if you made a group called "Moderators"(though there is one already since you made the forum) all you have to do is add that member to that group by going to admin panel=>Users & Groups=>Groups=>Group Administration. Choose the group you want by clicking on this icon next to the group you want.On the next page scroll down the page until you find the "Group Members" members section. There you can type the name of the member you wan to add in that group and click on the "Add member" button.
