And what page to invoke in order to administer anything... as far as I can tell, the instructions bug_id 95, which is the only thing that mentions that the install instructions are wrong, are obsolete, due to the introduction of bb_capabilities... or maybe not. It is unclear what modifications to the string in bb_capabilities need to be made. ... at the least, I would assume you would change the default "member" to "administrator", but I have no idea what to change the numbers to. According to bug_id 95, adding a "user_type" entry to the bb_metadata table for your userid with a meta_value of 5 should magically make you an administrator, and I assume (based on what I see in the code as being restricted by "current_user_can") cause all sorts of features to suddenly appear or become accessible... but that doesn't work. Reading through upgrade.php and the bug reports, I also see that somehow user_type is supposed to be deleted... but since it didn't exist, and I didn't "upgrade", that didn't happen. Let me know how to make all the good stuff mentioned on this blog happen, please? Can someone *PLEASE* tell me how to actually get a functioning administrator account working?!?

Let me know how to make all the good stuff mentioned on this blog happen, please?
