Cannot remove administrator
A little while ago I made 2 staff members administrators so that they could have access to the admin panel (we were working on a layout together.) It was only supposed to be temporary but I cannot remove them. When I remove them it acts as if I did, but they still have access to the admin panel, and it soon labels them as administrators in the groups section again. I am not the founder but the founder has also tried to do it with the same problem. This must be a glitch, or some weird forumotion rule that admins can't be removed?

Re: Cannot remove administrator
Did you remove the admin's from group one? (Group with the crown)

Yes. I did it once more and the members appear to no longer be admins. However I have confirmation from both of them that they still have all of the administrative powers including access to the admin panel.

Did you check logging into their account using their password after their consent to see if it happens?

I didn't but they wouldn't have any reason to lie to me. If you'd like I can do that though.

After you removed them from Group 1, are they still reappearing in the group? Since you are an administrator, but not the founder, you might not have the permission to do this, though I'm not 100% sure. However, the founder must have the ability to remove people from the admin group.
Here's an alternative suggestion:
If you're getting a little suspicious, ask the founder to go and change your admins' passwords. Then, log into their account and confirm what is happening to himself. If the problem is recurring, make a screenshot. Then send your ex-admins an email telling them that their password has been reset to whatever.
Note: Careful when using doing this because you might offend the users!!

Re: Cannot remove administrator
Do you mean that they still have access to the administration panel, or they have moderator powers? Are they moderators for any specific forum?

Re: Cannot remove administrator
The two members have always been moderators. I made them temp admins to help me on a layout. When I go to remove them, it shows that I have removed them but they still have complete access to the admin panel, and their admin status soon reappears in the admin group.
This isn't an issue of anybody being suspicious of anybody, it is definitely a glitch of some sort. The founder has also tried to remove them but it will not work.
The members don't want to remain as admins either.

Re: Cannot remove administrator
Could it be that another administrator is adding them back to the administrator group?
