After getting everything working perfectly on my new server, I am playing with user permissions for one of the forums. Somehow I accidently add 'Admin' (which is my administrator name) as moderator of one of the forums twice. To rectify this I deleted the bottom one of the two 'Admin' names displayed under this moderation list.

However, now I can't access the admin options of the forum. It seems as if it has completely deleted the admin from the database. I have spent the past 6 hours importing all my old ubb info and setting up the forum...and if I have lost all this work because of such a simple error I think I will go do something nasty to myself!

I have some sort of access to my database through my virtual server control panel. How can I get back into my forum admin section?

Well I've fixed it!

I entered into the database and changed the usergroupid to 6 for one of my other usernames...and that did the trick

Actually the search on this beta version I believe is still broken, or shut off. SO it makes it a little hard to find everything:)

It was working for me about 30 minutes ago! I did a search on Polls, and it gave me quite a good list!
