I couldn't find any special features, but they may not be obvious either.  Like the main admin account having unlimited pm's or something like that.  It doesn't appear to be documented anywhere I can find.

Maybe when I get some time*, I will look at the code for GroupID = 1 or something like that and see if I can find all these special things.

*Of course, I probably won't find time.  I barely have enough time to get all my projects done!  And people keep telling me about this sleep thing...  I wonder what that is... I seem to have a vague memory of something called sleep, but that was a long time ago....  Maybe I should search the forum and see if anyone knows. ;)

I might have to change it so that they are all classed as the same instead of just doing a check on user = 1.



Please see my previous reply

I didn't know that the default Administrator account had more features than other administrators!

I had created a different admin account for myself and the other admin and saved the default admin as a backup.

I'll have to login with that and see what extra features there are.

For security it is highly recommended that you change the Admin Username and Password to stop others messing up your Forums!

Can such more administrators (main) acs be created?

The main admin account at position 1 in the database is the main admin account and is hard coded that it can not be deleted.

It is also hard coded that this account has extra features that other admins will not be able to have.

The main admin of the forum should be using this account, that can not be deleted, unactivated, moved to another group etc.

If you try to alter this main admin account your forum will become unstable and may not function at all.
