  1. Log in to your forum account. (Must be an administrator account.)
  2. View the user's profile.
  3. Click the unban icon. (If there is no unban ucon, that means the logged in user has not been assigned as an administrator.)

  2. Click the Users link in the main menu.
  3. Next to the Banned user group, click the Manage link.
  4. In the Manage menu, click Users.
  5. Check the checkbox next to the user you want to unban.
