Once you are finished making any changes you desire to the Frontend Settings, then the Board Info is the next area. The Board Info Area is the block that is shown at the bottom of the Forum just above the Footer. This area shows some basic Forum Statistics and also some basic Site Statistics. Here you will be able to decide what you want to be shown in this block. It also allows you to display Administrators and Moderators of your Forums underneath the Forum Name in the Default Board View and the Category View.
- Board Info; this setting is for the complete Board Info Block. If you have decided that you do not want any of the available stats to be shown, then setting this to "No" will remove the entire block. When set to "Yes", the block will be shown and you can fine tune it with the following settings.
- Board Stats; This controls the "Board Stats" and "User Info" Columns in the Board Info area. When set to "No", these 2 Columns will not be shown.
- Number of Users/Guest online; when set to "Yes", the "Members Online" and "Guest Online" information will be shown in the User Info Column.
- Users Online; when set to "Yes", your users will be able to see who is currently online. This is shown underneath the "Board Stats" area if it is enabled.
- Max Users Online; Not currently available
- Show Most Active Users; you can let your Users see who is most active in your Forum by setting this to "Yes". The most active Users will be determined by the Posts and Topics that a User has made.
- Number of Most Active Users; here you can set how many users will be shown when displaying "Most Active Users".
- Display Moderators and Administrators; you can allow your users to see the Moderators of the Individual Forums and the Forum Admins by setting this to "Yes". These will then be shown underneath the Forum Name when viewing Categories and on the Forum Index Page when using "Forum View".
- Moderators Color; This will set the text color for the names of your Moderators. You can either use color Names such as "Red" or "Blue" or use Hexadecimal Values such as "#FF0000" or "#0000FF". These colors are only used for the Moderator Names that are shown underneath the Forum Names and will not be used when showing the Users Names elsewhere on the Forum.
- Administrator Color; This will set the text color for the names of your Administrators. You can either use color Names such as "Red" or "Blue" or use Hexadecimal Values such as "#FF0000" or "#0000FF". These colors are only used for the Administrator Names that are shown underneath the Forum Names and will not be used when showing the Users Names elsewhere on the Forum. Also Note that all Site Super Admins are automatically added as Forum Admins.
