I posted this question a week or so ago about needing some help with an admin problem on my board (6.2.2). Here's the deal...

I converted to Threads from a freeware Classic board that was hacked to pieces, and I had kind of "manually" added another mod to the front page of the forum. The user had no privilages, as it was more for eye candy. Anyway, when I switched to Threads, somehow this user has admin status, as do I. Well, I'd like to switch him over to a normal user, but I've read about wiping out the "1" or "0" user and REALLY screwing things up, so I figured I had better "look before I leap".

I've already set up another username to transfer the other user's info onto, but I need to know how to proceed next.

Thanks in advance!

That is definitely worth reading! Josh got me squared away, so I'm good to go!

Thanks, as usual, fellas!
