More than 1 super admin
So , you need another super admin to help you out, maybe you are going away and need someone to look after the forum? Well, whatever the reason, here is a tutorial on how to make more than 1 super admin

What is a super admin?
A super admin has no "Extra" powers than a normal admin, what it means is that they cannot be banned, edited or deleted.

How do I make more than 1 a super admin?

To start, download a copy of your config.php file from
public_html/forumfolder/inc/config.php

Open it in a text editor like Notepad and look for
PHP Code:
$config['super_admins'] = '1'; 

What that means is that the member with the user id 1, is a super admin, to add more, simply find the user id of the member you wish to make super admin and add it to the code above using commas like here
PHP Code:
$config['super_admins'] = '1,2,3'; 
So now users with the user id of 1, 2 and 3 are now super admins.

Save that file and reupload it to the folder you downloaded it from,

Enjoy
