I can't get into my network as the main admin. The account has disappeared!?
Can you (Support) used another member's account to access my network and get to the restore function to recover the account?
If you can please let me know.
The site is http://talking-points.net/talkingpoints

Thank you

We could if it was on our hosting, but otherwise no.

Does the "Forgot login" system not get you back in?

If it doesn't what you need to do is create a new account, then access your servers database system and get into your database, then change that new user from being a 'user' level to being a 'master' level. Probably via "PhpMyAdmin" in your servers control panel

Sadly the system doesn’t recognised my email “ An account with that email address or user name was not found - please try again”.
I’ll try the work around that you suggested, if I can.

If that still does not work, create another user account, then send those details to support at jamroom dot net along with a link to this thread and the login information to get into your serves Control Panel (this is not jamroom, its the server control panel, possibly CPanel maybe)

* Cpanel login
* Cpanel login URL
* new user name that you created.
* link to this thread.

OK you’re really helpful...
I managed to get into the server myself but haven’t got much idea from there on...
I’ll send those details first thing in the morning....
Thanks again,
Alex

Not related, but some groups are not showing in "Top Groups" module... How can I correct this?

Thanks again.

talking-points.net/talkingpoints/group shows all groups, not /groups so either change the Group module's URL setting from 'group' to 'groups', or edit the menu template so that it links to '/group' and not '/groups'

The 'Top Groups' panel on the index page may not be listing groups by their creation date. I think by default its by the number of comments they have. Check the template code for that section to see what the {jrCore_list...} order_by parameter is.

I'm reopening this post if I can, as I have had another problem occurring with user profiles.
As can be seen from the attached image, essential data from the user account "Alexander", disappeared over night.

Is it possible to transfer the data from that account to a new account?

Thank you for your help
