Topic: No Fail Safe For User Group Changes

On my forum I was looking around and I was looking at the Administration page of my profile, and I decided to see if I could change my User Group. I can, and I am now a member. I was think of maybe it would be a good idea to implement some sort of fail safe to keep the original admin from losing admin status on his or her board. Even though you can fix it through editing the database manually... I just think it would be helpful.

Re: No Fail Safe For User Group Changes

I see your point. However, people might want to demote/delete that first administrator account if he perhaps leaves the forum team or something like that.

Re: No Fail Safe For User Group Changes

In which case the failsafe would have to check if there was only one admin.
