Hi Steve! I received an in-expedition photo you made via "Sleepy". Looks like blue skies for you up in Norway!
OK, back to the question. Steve pretty much nailed the process. When I was the TR admin, the "Sticky" resided inside my RVnet account; so, unless I wanted to share my password with the new Trip Reports admin (tantamount to giving the new TR administrator access to all my personal PMs), a new TR person will have to continue with TRs under their RVnet account.
Now, after pondering this, IF multiple TR administrators wanted to pool their efforts together (say, share/schedule the editing duties), perhaps a new account could be opened, and a shared password could be created for that specific project. However, when you think about the RVnet participant's responsibilities as "Forum citizens", having multiple participants on one account could be fraught with potential negatives (I'm playing the part of a corporate legal).
Anyhow, in my mind, the easiest transition, may include Steve's master text document to the new admin/editor; the new person could then ease into the role, then change the format eventually to personalize the TR....
The only open-pit mine I have been able to find in operating the TR, is the 100 edit limit to any individual Post (I think this is a CFM scripting thang; but I never pursued a "ticket" to the site Administrator to look into the matter).
etc, etc...
Steve has been a most organized, tech-savvy, innovative and reliable Trip Reports admin. If I was head-hunting a Forum admin for a large corporate client, he would be the primary candidate. Thanks Steve for all your efforts!
