How to change the owner email

The owner email is what shows in the admin panel. The owner email address can only be changed by a ForumUp admin.

People can change the email address showing in their profile, but that will not change the owner email address in ForumUp's database. The email address in the profile is what other members can use to send you an email, and the email address where you will receive notifications of new posts and personal messages. The owner email address is where ForumUp will send special warnings or a new admin activation email (in case a bad second admin deleted the real forum owner's account).

The email owner of the forum must post the request on this support forum in the "Other Forum Questions" section. Do NOT send an email or PM to any staff member asking to change the owner email. All requests must be posted on this forum.

In your post on this forum, only state that you wish to have your owner email changed. Do NOT give your email address, or your forum password. Make the title of your post have your forum name in it, for example: Owner email change- nicelittleforum.forumup.com.

After that, wait for a ForumUp Admin to reply to your post, and give you further instructions.

What willl happen is that a special email will be sent to the owner email address for the forum in question. So do not cancel your owner email account before making a request for the owner email to be changed in your forum! You will need to go to your original owner email account to read the special message.
