Topic: HELP - Can't administer forums?!?!?!

I am trying to figure out why I am listed as a member of the forums but cannot administer them.

I seem to have missed somehting in the process since I cannot access any aspects of administering the site.  I just did a successful conversion from IPB 1.3 to PunBB 1.1.4 but  cannot access any admin features.

ANy ideas what I can do to resolve this?

TIA,

So what you're saying is that the converter failed to transfer over the administrative privileges for your user?

If you end up with no administrators, you have to do some manual database editing. Update the column status and set it to 2 for the user you want to have administrative privileges.

Perhaps Chacmool should have a look at this.
