    Posted: 22 April 2005 at 6:57am
I just made it from Snitz to WW and I'm still learning, however there's a little thing that I can't get. I made a search, so the answer is wether so evident that only a jackass like me can't see the obvious solution, or it's no deal to anyone but me... Embarrassed
 
In both cases, the question is: it seems that there is a native "super-admin" account on this software, from which one can pull other memebrs up to the "admin" level. The latter accounts can be deleted, but the super-admin account doesn't seem to be deletable nor the username editable.
 
The problem is: how can I use a specific username as an administrator? Do people usually create a new account, pull it to "admin" level and let the "super-admin" account unused? Or is there another way?
 
No big deal, just to understand how things work...

There are two ways to change the admin accounts username.

The first is through the admin section, there is a page to change the admin username and password. It's right at the top of the admin menu page just under the title 'Admin Menu'

Or there is another tool in the admin area for changing usernames for forum members.

Ah, thanks, I knew it had to be easy... I'm so accustomed to Snitz that I just can't seem to find where things are!
