Running through the phpBB’s basic features was a long way to go. This is true, because phpBB is a feature-rich bulletin-board system that provides a lot of flexibility to all user types—regular members, moderators, and administrators. To get philosophical, in theory and practice, it is known that greater flexibility often comes at the price of increased complexity. But this is not necessarily the case for most of the phpBB features as they are really intuitive and easy to use.
If you did the Time For Action sections in this chapter, you should now have a pretty good idea how things are working around your new BB. If you didn’t do the practice parts, now is the time to go back and do them or just to set the book aside and jump into experimenting with phpBB, you favorite bulletin-board system.
