2  The Administration Control Panel

The administration control panel is the ultimate place to modify any forum features. Over there, you can set any of your preferences. This interface is divided into three sections that you can browse by tabs. Inside of each section you will find various options. We will go in detail through each of them. For the reminder, you can access this interface by clicking on the link “Access to the administration panel.”

The screen shot below shows you what the administration control panel looks like:

As you can see, this interface is divided into three sections

You can go to each of those sections via the tabs displayed at the top right. By default, the statistic feature is activated when the administration interface loads in order to provide you with a quick view of your forum statistics.

Once you have clicked on a tab, you can browse the section options from the left panel. Finally, if you click on the link “Back to the forum”, you will leave this administration interface and be back to the root of your forum.

The administration control Panel homepage also displays important announcements (like new forum versions available) as well as a notepad in which you can save any text to which you will be able to refer the next time you log in the interface.
