Perhaps I just keep missing it because I am sick right now, but I cannot change the user that is the "Admin" for the forum. 

My account was switched to be the Admin in a DNN v4.08.04 portal with the most recent version of the Forum Module installed.  However, last night the previous admin received a forum notification when a post was flagged as inappropriate.  I spent about 10 minutes this morning looking in the Forum Admin area to see where to change the user account that is the "admin" for the Forum Module, but I simply could not find it.  Where do I do that, or is this a bug?

Admin is setting as role in the module settings.  So if you give a user the role Adimistrator and you have edit permission for the role Administrator in the module settings you can admin the Forum module. 

I am not 100% sure if I understand your problem.  About english isn't my first language.

Actually, that is not the problem.  I can edit just fine.  I am both THE Admin and a Host.  However, I will give you a very specific example...

If a visitor clicks on the "Report Post" link, the e-mail doesn't go to me, it goes to someone else right now.  This is even though I am in the Administrators role, and set at the Administrator for the Portal.  I do not see anywhere else where I can manage who this e-mail goes to.

The Report Notification e-mail is shiped to the Moderation role. Have you enable Moderation E-Mails in the My-Settings?
