Hi @isreal lefkowitz    ,Welcome to the Community! 

I can certainly raise a support ticket to assist you further with this issue.

To help me get started, could you please provide the name of the board you are referring to? This will allow me to cross-reference and ensure we are looking at the correct one.

I look forward to your response!

Thank you !

Hi @Dori 

I have taken a look at the board, and it is closed. The board admin's account was deleted due to inactivity over the last two years, as per our Dormant account policy, and because of that, the board is closed.I have promoted your existing account to board admin.

Can you please try now to reopen the closed board under a new workspace and let me know if you face any issues? You can follow the steps mentioned in the doc Reopen a closed board.

Thank you !

Hi @Sakshi Verma, I have the exact same issue. My Trello board called "Institution" is closed and the only admin is a ghost/removed member. The 4 active members (including me) all have "normal" memberType and none of us can reopen the board.

 

Could you please help promote my account to board admin so I can reopen it? My Trello username is kannanvikas and the board name is "Institution".

 

Thank you so much for your help!

@Sakshi Verma hello.  I wanted to circle back (3rd time now) because requests before and after mine have been addressed so wanted to ensure mine didn't get lost in the thread.  Please advise if you can reopen our board Rockstar Admin.

Hi @Z Garcia 

No worries at all! Could you please share your Trello username with me? (For security, please don't share your email address here).

To find your username:

  1. Log in to Trello.

  2. Click on your profile icon at the top right of the screen.

  3. Select Profile and visibility.

  4. You’ll see your username listed there

Once I have your username, I'll be able to locate your account and check if there are any closed boards associated with it.

Thanks
