Remove Moderator Problem

New Member Joined: Feb 18, 2006 Posts: 5

I have no problem adding Moderators, and everything works fine.

The problem comes when revoking Moderator status for a user.

I go in to use permissions in the forum and change Moderator status to Not Moderator click submit, but the changes are not saved. I've tried changing it in the database from 3 to 1, but the users name is still showen in the Moderators list on the forum, and as a Moderator in user permissions.

The only way I can remove them is to change the user ID, but that then loses the links to all the posts that user has made in the forum.

Make sure the user does not have privileges in "User Permissions Control" AND "Group Permissions Control"

"Group Permissions Control" look to be correct, but "User Permissions Control" still show "Is Moderator".

When I change this to "Not Moderator" and click Submit. I then get an information window saying "Permissions have been updated", but when I go back and check. It says the user is still a Moderator.

If you are using Firefox, you may be getting a cached version of the page.

If that is the case, try another browser or look at the client and server side fixes here [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Thanks spasticdonkey.

I tried two other browers IE and Chrome, and get the same result.

Even after I can changed the users_level in the database to 1. It still shows the user on the forum as a Moderator. Are the user_id that are Moderators also stored in some other area in the database? I've looked but can not see them if they are.
