Hi - I have acquired (in a bloodless coup) admin rights and am making some main tidy ups before the weekend when I can do more. I will start a changelog thread

Thanks for sharing MOD rights out Admin/Davros, it should help the group enormously. I'm not sure I'm ready for that level of responsibility tho', so feel free to move me back to "happy fan" mode . Once again from us all, thanks for setting this board up and allowing the BF family to be together again . Cheers Tony Would you rather just be a moderator?

I have removed myself from the Admin group. As stated in another thread we have (had) 11 admins which I agree is too many. I am happy to be a moderator . Cheers Tony

How did you do that? Edit your own profile? I am still looking for the meta-admin features for admining groups!

I'm open to any available admin roles (as long as there aren't too many cooks to spoil the broth )

Although I think it has bumped me back to low level again - that's why I'm not safe as an admin lol. I had a quick look through the admin options, but couldn't find where to restrict guest posting (may be a pro thing?) Cheers Tony

I don't think I want to be an admin/moderator. I am way too busy for that.

I guess I'm a moderator as well. I will use my powers for good.

We'll just have to be careful that poor Tony isn't left in the lurch as the main active admin as I'm sure he's as busy as the rest of us.
Cheers
Tony

Tony, let us know if you need help with anything. How artistic are you? Someone to look at how themes work might be good. I can do the basics of uploading / modifying... but am not the best at getting everything just right. The problem with playing is not upsetting users as you do it!

Yes, thanks very much, Mr (or Ms.) Mod. Tony, I may be able to help admin. But not till after this weekend. Leaving for a conference today.

I'll see what I can do. I do like the idea of having a contest for forum banner artwork.

Yes, a contest might be a good way to go. I'm sure we have some artistic people in our midst.

So, how did I earn the right to be an Admin? I was surprised when I noticed that I had that status earlier today.
Was it because I was such an early signer-on here?
I don't mind, but I'm not sure how much I can do. But if this grants me God Like Powers - like to eradicate spam, then yeah, I guess I might keep it since I tend to be online at all sorts of different times (rotating shift worker)
I have not really looked into the options available to me in detail yet. I've never had Admin control like this before.
As for a banner - I'd be OK with a contest. I'd be too tempted to do something cynical.
...Okay, I did go and do something cynical! (and this is just a rapidly thrown together jape on my part)

The secret super admin set us up. You only need moderator status to manage spam. Admins can rearrange the furniture, look and feel. We can't make admins though, or some other meta tasks
