Hi,
I've tried reading the forums to get an answer but it seems that the case I read about (4 administrators who couldn't log in as administrators) was or might be solved by the Admin here doing something to re-instate them. Nothing we could solve ourselves (it seemed).
I'm in a similar situation.
In my case, I just began creating this board (2 days ago?), used the email I received to go to my Admin account, started changing a few things (set up 2 forums, installed dozens of smilies, but no major or 'suspect' tampering), and when I tried to post something I couldn't even do it.
It told me that I was either not logged in/registered, etc.
And then I realized for the first time that near the top left of the front page, it always said 'welcome guest'.
Not even logged in at all.
Despite the fact that every time I used an updated password, it would say I had logged on successfully, and then when the front page appeared, it said 'welcome guest".
I must have skipped something in activating my account, pushed a wrong button or there's a bug.. first time I had a problem like this. But really, I doubt I did anything wrong at the outset.
I tried, several times, getting a new password. And I used the link from my original e-mail to get to the Admin panel. It worked the first times but it got to the point where it wouldn't even get me to the panel.
It said I was either not logged in or a valid administrator, or something like that.
That must be a security setting I guess. After trying to access the Admin account, in the last attempts, I'd get e-mails that someone had tried to log in my administrator account.
Sorry, that's pretty long. But just in case all these details might be useful.
