Please could Gordon or Graeme set me up as a co admin. I would like to access the ACP and get familiar with the surroundings again, been a long time!
Thanks guys.

Thanks Graeme , I will bang on your door now and again for any help.
Mostly just looking around for now, getting the feel for the ACP again.

Best ask Gordon for anything complicated! I can't even get rid of your Austrian flag!

I managed to change the flag here in the ACP, it looks different from what I saw on the log in screen.

What I would like to do is to get rid of the 'Co-admin' between my username and the 'button" with co-admin on it. i suspect it has to do with groups etc.
any way we can do that/ I would prefer the 'earth ambassador' etc to be back.
Any ideas.
If so, please give a verbose explanation for a dummy like me, thanks.

On my log on, your flag can't be changed because you have no country selected. I tried to make you British (😁) but got this message:

Any thoughts @Gordon?

As for the Co-Admin Text and separate Banner, I don't know how to fix that either! 🤣

last night it accepted the change but has reverted back.
in one drop down menu the flag falls under "south Africa" and on another it falls under "ZA- South Africa", did not think to look for the ZA designation the first time round.
ZA refers to the old Dutch name Zuid Afrika.

Fixed....

There was a "USER MAP" extension turned on, that it appears someone was testing. It was causing conflicts with the software. I turned it off and as you can see I'm now from Zimbabwe.

Yeah, I think I put that extension in!

The flag was still showing as Austria this morning but I was able to change it without any error messages.

Clinton's country is now South Africa. I think ZA is used because SA was taken by Saudi Arabia. I would put in a complaint to their Consulate!
