Hi,

im trying to make the board private by removing the register link and to do that i was told to go to:

Admin > Host Administration > Host Settings > Login/Registration Settings > Disable New Registrations

Problem is, i can't see the Host Administration Menu, when i'm logged as admin, the only thing i see when i click admin is this:

Settings

Users and Roles

Maintenance

Database

NNTP

Upgrade

At first i thought i didn't have enough rights on the admin role but it seems like i already added all the rights/privileges i could. Does anyone have an idea why i don't see this hosting menu ?

Here's how look my Admin profile in the Roles menu if this can help:

Priority: 0 | Is Guest No | Is Start No | Is Moderator Yes | Is Admin Yes | PMs ∞ |

User Albums Number: 10 | Album Images Number: 120 |

Style: default, yafpro

Max number of chars in a user signature: 256 | User signature BBCodes: URL,IMG,SPOILER,QUOTE | User signature HTML tags: No |

And for the Access Mask section:

Read Yes | Post Yes | Reply Yes | Priority Yes |

Poll Yes | Vote Yes | Moderate Yes | Edit Yes |

Delete Yes | Upload Yes | Download Yes

Thanks !

Under Users & Roles -> Users search for your user and click on edit. When you edit your user account there is a checkbox Host Admin. This needs to be enabled.

Would that be on the User Details tab ? Because this board is in french but i don't see anything Host Related in User Details or in any other tab. Here's what it looks like from here:

Your account is not Host Admin, but simply Admin.

update yaf_user set flags = flags | 1 where user name = 'youraccountname';

I've noticed that some direct database entries do need an application restart via the admin menu or an application pool recycle...

Just had to say "Thanks" to bbobb for that info, I was able to set my secondary admin login as the "Host" so now maybe I can get some of the issues with my boards fixed! Thank you!
