Can't add moderators

Okay so I added mods awhile ago.

I went to their profile and changed their rank to "moderator". I also went to the forum I wanted them to be the moderator of and added their name there. However it would not add them to the mod group. I had to add a moderator usergroup and use that one.

Any idea why and how can I fix this so that I don't have 2 moderator usergroups?

Wait were you trying to make Global or regular moderators?
Global are made through their account settings, regular ones have to be done through the board.
Feel free to PM me or email me. ;)

Hi Sherry.    The "Moderator" group is for Board Moderators.    When you make someone a Board Moderator they have the Moderator Permissions and Moderator Rank only when they are in the Board(s) that you set them to Moderate.   In all other boards their Permissions are those of the Post Count Based Group that they belong to.  The rank image and title in their posts will reflect that in those Boards.    If I understand what you are wanting correctly,  yes you would have to create a regular Membergroup for them and move them to it if you want those you set to Moderate a few boards to still have the title of Moderator throughout the forum.
