Your database advice was spot on. Now I have 2 working admin accounts if I'm ever dumb enough to log out of one without knowing the password. Woot! It does bring up something from my real/public board that I can't figure out. Maybe it needs a new thread, but I have a "newbie" group on my real board and I have captcha set for that group. It seems to cut down on spammers. However, I have it set so that after "x" amount of posts they are elevated to users. The problem is even though it does move them up to "users" the "newbies" group remains clicked and so they're still stuck with captcha. I have no idea how to solve that, but I'm so happy right now, I don't care laugh

Thanks, big time!

Well that's another issue but I suspect that you need to review the forum permissions settings for newbie groups compared to users groups.
