Topic: Guests can change everyones account

After using the converter to convert a smf forum, guests now seem to have administrative privledges. I used the converter for postnuke php board and did not experience this problem. There must be a way to fix this, but I can't find it.

Re: Guests can change everyones account

update prefixusers set group_id = 3 where id = 1

Replace prefix with your db_prefix

Actually there are no 3s in the user database. Some how people posted (evidently in smf) without registering and they became 1s. But I deleted those postings. I do notice that on another board I have a guest entry in users, but on this one I do not. I'll try duplicating this record.

Re: Guests can change everyones account

That's the point
ID=1 is the Guest user
group_id=3 is the guest group
The query sets the guest user to use the guest group

You da man! I didn't realize ID 1 had to be the Guest entry, I had it as my admin (that's what it was on the forum I converted). Thanks a bunch!

I have similar problem. I converted from phpBB. Where is the location of that code?

Soyuz,
I just made those changes in the database in members table from phpadmin. No code changes were necessary.
