Hey I keep hearing that no one should have an admin account created or in use if you care about security issues so I want to delete my admin account and use another account as admin. The thing is, I already created the forums with the admin account.. what is the best way to go about this? Should I..

1: Delete The Current Forums and Just Create Them Again Or

2: Edit Via MyPhpAdmin and Pray Nothing Breaks?

Thanks

Rob

Just create a new user for yourself, log in with that new user, then delete the old account and attribute all posts/links to the new username.

Thanks how do I attribute though, will there be an option for that?

[@jarretc Participant 12 years, 6 months ago]

Yes, when you go to delete the user it will provide you with an option to transfer your posts/links to another user account.

Will make a backup just in case though..
