Forum Management
You've seen that any member can create new threads or post replies to threads, but you might be wondering how new forums are created within the discussion area?
Be default, one forum exists. This is called Main Forum, and it has the imaginative description of Main Forum Description. This is within a category called Main Category, which again has an imaginative description: Main Forum Description.
These names are of course placeholders, and you are expected to change them (although you do see the occasional forum using these names!)
Editing and Adding Forums
Once the board is set up, you need to give people a place to go to so that the talking (or typing!) can happen. The placeholder forum is there just to show you where the forums appear on the page—the developers expect you to create your own!
To create discussion areas, you have two options open to you:
Edit existing forums
Add new forums
You can make these changes in the AdminCP. In the left-hand menu, click on Forums and Moderators...
