What Matthew Coburn has to say on this topic...
****
Hi.
And anyone please provide me with a query that I can run on my AcmlmBoard database to adminify a user? I've tried everything, but to no avail...
Thanks,
Matthew.

You need to set their powerlevel to 3.

If you can't even figure this out, you have no reason to be using an Acmlmboard.
I only say this for your own safety. Use something else.

 If you're already an admin on it (which user 1 is by default), you don't even need the query either ... just go to Edit User from the user's profile

Thanks for the howto, Acmlm! 
And Xkeeper, it's Trial and Error.

No, it's "trial and get your forum blown up".
I know this from experience. Unless you know each and every one of your forum's bugs, you're going to get attacked.
I don't know them all (a few are still scuttling around under the oven) and you see how well this goes.

But... yeah. If you can't comprehend even the basic power levels, you're in pretty big trouble with Acmlmboard.

That'd require will power and non-laziness, too things that, for some reason, doesn't seem to run around in the family of Acmlmboards owners.

The only secure AB is this one, and that's only after Xk (and BMF?) has(/have) done a shitload of work on it; and even then, no board is perfect, so you'd need to know a whole lot of PHP/etc to be able to fix all the holes that pop up in the board.
Uh..."fixed".

With that much reprogramming you might as well code a new board from scratch

I think I just said that.

169 days | | | Yeah, when I reprogram mine, it will pretty much be like that. The only reason I don't do it from scratch is due to the examples the Acmlm board gives me to work from. (Perfectly fine examples, if you remove all Register globals, viciously filter all input, and consolidate/remove a few PHP files which seem to exist primarily to be liabilities (I.E. unlikely to be updated and thus keep some bugs that you fixed elsewhere)).
Crazy ol' me. That's why technically you're better off programming from scratch.

In that case, I should've dumped Acmlmboard long ago and used something else... I think there's just something that draws us to this damn board a lot.
Though I have been considering doing a full-out rewrite or something of the code, but there are a lot of factors preventing me from doing it..
