Each ranking list comes with it's own integrated phpBB forum which can be used for providing support to your own list members and topical discussion.
The following information is a brief overview for those new to phpBB forum administration to help get started.
There are a just few forum settings in the admin control panel which are overridden to protect the security of your's and other's boards, beyond these, you have have full control over how your forum is organized, managed and it's style.
Create Categories and Forums
The first step for a new forum is to create the desired categories and forums.
Remember, the organization of your forum can always be changed as it evolves and grows.
To manage your forums, login to your admin account and look for the "Go to Administration Panel" link near the bottom of the page. Then look in the admin menu for Forum Admin -> Management. Click that link and you will be able to add, edit, delete or arrange categories and forums as you like.
Set Forum Permissions
Each forum can have it's own unique set of permissions which control who can post, reply, edit and delete and more. Forums are created with the ideal settings for security so this can be ignored by most admins, however you can learn more about guest posting and how to change forum permissions in our How to Manage Forum Permissions guide.
