Administrator/Moderator Question
I wanted to add some moderators to the forum, but I only see a place to make a user an Administrator. I don't see anywhere in the manual notes on an admin powers. Are they the same as mine as owner? Is there a way to limit their ability to go anywhere in the Admin Panel, thereby eliminating the possibility of them doing the wrong thing?

This makes me nervous, not that I don't trust my moderators, but they could easily make an accidental, horrible change.

Steve,

Yeah you don't want to hand out Admin powers, but the good news is you don't have to.

This will probably be improved in 2.0.0, but for now moderators must be added to individual forums from within the category/forum section.

For forums you've already created, go to admin, list forums, and select modify. You'll see a form section for "Subscribers" and "Moderators". Enter the user names of the moderators you want to add, 1 per line.

At this time we cannot add moderators by category.
