Logs are at the bottom left in the cp. Under tools&info. Just select the view admin logs tab. Then build your list per date range. You can also purge on the next line old entries.

Yes, I saw that. I think Dave must have set that up, because it works. The control panel can be a maze to get through. Now, I can't find the Admin Logs. Geez. And, I changed the minimum age from 13 to 15. Seemed a bit young. (That's not in this que

It should but to be honest I have ever tried the auto options. Another reason to visit the admin logs on occasion. You are required to obtain the : Stop Forum Spam API-KEY and test Enable Stop Forum Spam ?

Wow, just found the auto spam settings. So, we could set it to Silent Fail, and they would not be approved. But, the good applicants would still show up, correct? I am sorry to take up so much of your time.

I see. I understand the first and third. I was referring to logging in as a user, but I agree, not a great idea.

No you don't view the PM's you just see a count with the query. To actually see the PM's you would need to login as the user which I never do. As far as the admin log it just gives you who made the change and a generic operation and who it was for.

Those are some nice commands, etc. Probably simple, but I don't feel comfortable enough to play with them. We have enough issues as it is.

Funny you said that. Users get 200. A mod just emailed me with the answer to the question of how many PMs. He has 117 of 10,000, so I guess mods have more. I could check though. Of course, not sure why mods would have 9,800 more reasons to message us

I can't find it now but somebody. Probably SD or Gizmo posted a query to display a summary on how many PM's each person has.

Thanks I will look. It is extensive. Another reason, I don't take over someone's account. I recall during a huge problem between the users and management, mentioning that admins could do that and, therefore, get to PMs (I think), and they went crazy.

Well if you want to dig since you have admin access: GOTO Control Panel » View Admin Logs And search through for evidence of permission changes. The log will show anyone who made changes to the site. It can be very large if you have not purged it in

Well whoever is member 2 needs to be reviewed. And probably you will need to edit the config file to change it to somebody else.

The main administrator user ID (Super Admin) is set to 2. I wonder if the old owner is still the Super Admin. The company was recently sold (not sure if it were a hostile takeover or not.

Thanks. Here is something interesting. I think anyway. 11 of the 14 that were automatically made PMs in the CP are on the Top Posters List. Yes we are a vain group. I am proud to say I just went over 9,000 to little or no fanfare I might add, lol.

It is default to users. I actually wonder if it would be easier to make the limit on PMs 500 for everyone. That would solve the whole problem, although there really hasn't been much of a problem yet. I guess if all 3,000 members had 500 PMs, it may
