Okay, I run this forum software on a web site.  I am currently the administrator for it.  However, at this time I am interested in making someone else the administrator who is currently a member.  Is it possible to transfer the admin privilages to him while still keeping my account but making it a standard member?

Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

In the Admin Area / General Admin / Second link, says: "Change Admin Username and Password" go there and change it.

What version are you running?

If your running v6.xx then only the 1st user in the database is admin

If your funning v7.xx then you can set new admins in the users profile.

6.32 is what we are running right now.

So, basically what you are saying is that I would have to give up my account if it is put into someone elses name, right?

You could do it by editing the database directly by changing the username and password fields for the admin. Of course, that means that any posts you have made would be linked to the new admin.

Another solution (again v6.34) would be to edit the pages that look for If lngLoggedInUserID = 1 and change those to the id number of the user you want as the admin. An easy way is to use a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver and use the find and replace function.

I'm not sure on v6.32, but on one of my v6.34 boards I have set a 2nd member to be able to have admin functions by editing the pages to have an "or" for the logged in user ID. It works out fairly well.
