Ok, so I think we can start to replace the last 3 owners that are not responding to multiple attempts to reach out. I am unable to give people access to proboards. Anyone who has ability to make someone a member want to help out. I am not sure how we go about making people administrators as I cant contact bats at all. I wish we could get him to make a few people administrators. Anyone have any ideas? The worst case scenario is make a new proboards site but I really dont want to do that.

I think most of these are questions answered by blacksox. I don't know enough about proboards to answer them or help out. I thought new owners just signed up by selecting the register button on the login page and then they put in an email or login handle. I'm probably wrong.
I think we should shoot for the start of the draft next weekend, and hopefully it won't mess too much with everyone's Superbowl plans. A week is probably enough time for new owners to take stock of their team and make immediate moves before the draft if those are needed. Are there three competent owners already qued up as replacements?
What abilities do I have with my admin rights on proboards that others don't have. Can you make changes to the minors roster? Can you process trades and make roster changes to reflect those?

At this point I believe Orange and Blue has only found 1 new owner. So we would still need 2 more. Plus if Bats doesn't respond we will most likely have to make a new proboards site because not enough people are administrators.
Edit: Also, have you guys checked to see if there's anywhere in the settings to add new admins?

The best I can find is it's in the members tab and that specific page I can't get to, although it's only been a quick search a couple times. I have no problem hooking someone up with my login information to check out stuff more than I've been able to find. Admittedly, I know very little about proboards.
Edit: sorry, I think it's the member tab under the admin tab

so without admin rights we can not edit minor league rosters, nor make changes to any other post that is not my original post.

You have rights as Administrator to change pretty much anything on the site. From thread details, to deleting threads, to completely revamping the site. I believe you should also be able to give new people access via invite as well as give people Administration rights. Though you have to do it through the Desktop version of the site.

Do we not have anyone with Administration rights?
Administrators can also change the settings for each section and thread too.

I have admin rights. Maybe it's worth considering making my login a generic for anyone that wants to make changes, and I can start a new ID. Not ideal, but an alternative.
I haven't found how to give admin rights to others, I would guess Black Sox would have done that already if possible. If you'd like I can message you my login stuff and do it straight away if it's too complicated to type out the instructions.

Go into the profile of the person you want to give admin rights to and click "Modify Profile." Once you're on that screen, scroll down until you see Admin Functions. Look for the "Member Group" drop down box. Select "Administrator" and hit Modify Profile.

Try it on my profile and then you can take it away again afterwards.

I've tried that before and I get as far as 'this members is not in any groups,' but I can't find a spot to add a member to a new or existing group. I'll message you my login stuff.

Guys it looks like the original site creator has limited the rights of the Administration group that some of you are members of. Bad news I'm afraid because without them logging in and changing the permissions for that group there is actually no way to fix this. In the two leagues I have Administration rights for there are two of us who can change Group permissions but that's not the case here.
Possibly the only option now...create a new Pb site and email out to all the confirmed managers. Set the Administration group up with better rights and go from there. Sadly that is going to take time though. I'm prepared to help if needs be.

Do we copy & paste everything from one site to another or do we just take certain things

I've ran proboards sites before, so if you need any help with updating/editing, I can help out.

Me too. We can set Global Moderators, Moderators and Administrators and then set what permissions they each have from the outset. Then at least we can give different people different roles where nobody actually has total control over it. Shares out duties then.

Ok I put a support ticket into proboards and asked about copying content or adding admins. They said there is no way for this to work (as I expected). I can help copying content. Also, they said we can make a new one with a link to this board for all the historical records if we want. That way we will always have draft and trade records etc and dont need to transfer all of that. I think that may be the best way and will minimize the information we need to transfer over.
I will be happy to be included as an admin to help, I think the more people the better.

sorry the support said a redirect board, not a link, which will redirect you to this board.

Cool. As I mentioned before. I'm willing to help out too. Would like to see this league continue on for a long time.

Let me know how I can help. I'd suggest we get it all sorted out before we start the draft. Dig the new logo, BC.
Edit: Maybe this is just an elaborate plot so we don't have to deal with O&B's awful color scheme anymore.
