But it is not showing me as the administrator. My name is showing on all of the posts that Jill created.

You can change the group/rank to whatever you like. Jill's posts will now show as yours because you took over that account.

Something is wacky. When I click on my name it is showing Jill's registration date and her # of posts. Thats correct. You can change the display name in Profile>Edit Profile. The profile that was hers is now yours, thats how transfer of the admin account works. But it is showing superior member not administrator.

But it is showing superior member not administrator. Profile > Edit Profile > SettingsFind the Display Group option on this page and change the dropdown to Administrator if you want the account to display as an admin. Regardless of what group you display as the main admin account always has full administrative access.

Okay, well I will change the name to WC FIELDS the SECOND so her posts are saved and I will continue to use my original username WC FIELDS.
I know she will still have to create a new account to post.
Joe
PS: I want to thank everyone for their help.

So now it looks like wcfields wrote almost 70,000 of my posts over nine years?
You've got to be kidding me. Proboards REALLY has to work on this to change this in future. I seriously doubt I am the ONLY Proboards admin who has gone through this before.

Anyway, I send my new registration in, but am not allowed to sign in properly until wcfields approves me.
Wacky, indeed.

You're the only one that I have seen ever mention it, to be honest. But that's largely because the majority of people that are transferring ownership of a forum no longer wishes to be part of the forum anymore. My apologies that it doesn't work out great for you, but this has never been a problem before, and likely won't again for some time.

Maybe because there are not that many people as dedicated as I have been for the past nine years, and now for serious health reasons I am forced to do this.
I am trying to look on the bright side. At least my old posts won't completely disappear.

Perhaps the new Admin could put something in the Status field that identifies those posts as yours, filmgal. It's not perfect, but it's better than nothing, I think.

I told him to call them Jill-Archive but it still states I am Administrator and wcfields is Moderator. Silly. That needs to be fixed. Administrator should be taken away from under Jill-Archive. Now I am simply Jill.
