Original ADMIN power

I was wondering, is there ANY way to move Original Admin power from him to another Admin? I was made Admin by him, and after a while we both stopped going to the forum. A little later on, I try to visit again and change one of the really active members to an Admin from a Global Mod, but I cannot.

I was told that only the original Admin can change someone's role to Admin. I was wondering, since our guy is totally gone, is there no way to give me that power to make others Admins?

The Proboards admin's can not make any changes to the forum till they get permission from the main admin of the forum. If you can not contact the main admin somehow, it might be best to create your own forum and tell the members to follow you where you will be in charge. (main admin)

I take it there is NO way to transfer that sort of power?

As Snakeair said, the only way to transfer power is with the main admin's permission.

So if I got ahold of him, there is an option on the boards that says that he could give those powers to me, or do you mean he could only make other admins?

He needs to give you the original password he used when he created the board.
