Managing your forum
Up to now, you've just created a default forum—a single subforum
within a single category. To edit category name, subforum name, and
add more categories and/or subforums within those categories, your Site
Membership Manager in Serif Web Resources has to be used. The
Manager also lets you set up forum security such as creating moderators,
adding users manually, banning or suspending users, along with
controlling forum privacy, applying themes, and controlling user
ranking (most posts).
