    Hello,

    You shouldnt have to give anyone your vb account info? you can just prodive him with the files to setup if thats what he is doing.

    If he is sorting out your forum then, make him an admin on it with limit permissions, i hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Adam

    Hello,

    No you wouldnt have to give him those details, you should be able to just download the files, then send them to him.

    I need many things to do other than upgrading.I don`t know which level of administration should I give him.
    also I worry about 80k email addresses that maybe he takes them for selling or sending spams...

    Hello,

    My advice is find a company that would do it instead of an individual if you feel your users and forums would be a risk.

    Regards,
    Adam

    Hello,

    You might get some reults from Google, i mean you could always change the forums language to English while the work is done and then change it back when its done?

    Regards,

    Never give anyone anything more than user access to the forum unless you trust him completely and make him sign an agreement that guarantees you things like non-disclosure and that he won't use the knowledge you give him for anything other than doing the work he's being hired for (which you spell out in the agreement). And make sure he lives in your legal jurisdiction, so if you have to sue him, you don't have to travel halfway around the world.

    Or spend a little time to learn how to do it yourself. You know you can trust yourself.

    Thanks Rukbat

    I am very busy in my life and don`t have time for learning technical vb issues.I have to have other one for it.
    at now someone have administory access .he wants to put his banner on my forum for technical assistance .he sells books.I accepted for bottom position one banner as 730X100.he is now evaluating his clicks from my users.
    if he agrees I will want him enough guarantees as you said.
