Some questions about the forums.

[Keyser Soze]

I had some questions about admining the forums I just got, I'm new at this stuff, so the questions are:

1) How do I change the name of a topic?
2) How do I sticky a topic?
3) Is there anyway to display the users that have visited in the past 24 hours?
4) Is there a way I can make a "Latest Topics" area on the forums that shows the most recent forums that are active? (For example, 5 most recent)
5) Is there a way to display by each topic how many people are vieing them?

Thanks in advance.

*1 to change a topic name scroll to the bottom menu in the topic open and see the options its very bad to see on some skins like blue illusions but its available to you as the admin or moderators.

*2 same place as above but its called 'pinned'.

*3 nope but you can get free webtats which are excellent from my link, and free but where to put I have just posted that question as we have no board wrapper - no board wrapper no stat counter works!

*4 ask a mod here about your other questions.

I still can't find the area of where you can change the topic name and sticky it. Can you please post a screen shot of where you are talking about?



That is what the bottom of my screen looks like. Please post a picture of where you are talking about.

[EDIT]

Oh and I see the option to sticky a thread while I am making the thread, but how do I sticky one after it is made?

you have a phpBB board. this is the ipb support forum. but heres how you do it - go into the topic you want to make "sticky" that isnt and click the edit button and then use the "sticky" button instead of the "normal" button.

For IPB software for those that need it. please remember some skins don't make it visable - bad skinning!
