Hi Stackideas-

So this is an extremely extremely bizarre issue. However, if you change your name in the forum's Edit Profile, then you're locked out of the backend (assuming the user is a super admin).

I've given you Super Admin/ FTP info during the thread: http://stackideas.com/forums/a-way-to-show-user-type-site-admin,-premium-member,-etc, so please take a look for login info.

Also, please be sure to create a couple new usernames before doing this, otherwise you'll be locked out too.

It's really bizarre, and the issue is repeatable, so you should be able to see what I'm referring to. Please don't make any upgrades as we have a bit of customization in place.

Thanks again,
Kevin
Hello Kevin LaManna,

I'm really sorry that delayed of this reply,
Do you mean that after the SuperAdmin change his Full name or Nickname, then the SuperAdmin Account will get locked from backend?
If no, can you elaborate more details regarding this? By the way, I have tried to access in your frontend account you provided that login credential, it seems like not working. Please advise.

Hi Arlex-

Your understanding is correct. If you login as a super admin in the front-end, and change your name, then that user will then be locked out of the back end.

I've providing a test username/ password in the site details of this post.

Thanks again,
Kevin

Hello Kevin LaManna,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Yes, I can reproduce on your issues from your site now. But I have tried to reproduce in my local, everything seems like working fine.
Did you remember which part do you have do the customization before? Please advise.
