so all of a sudden today there was a pretty big influx of new members to my vanilla install. so i added two people as user administrators, myself and one other person have master admin priveleges.
but now the other master admin and myself don't get the admin options we had before. i can't enable/disable extensions, edit other people's posts or stick/unstick threads.
okay, god only knows how, but somehow for the master administrator role the AdminCategories and MasterAdmin values got switched to 0 in the database. once i went in and changed them by hand all the controls came back just like normal.
