Administering Forums
Once a thread reply has been added, it can only be edited by a moderator or administrator.
Editing a thread
If you are logged in as a moderator or administrator you will see ‘edit’ and ‘delete’ button over every thread you have permission to moderate.
To edit a thread, click the Edit button and amend the entry in exactly the same way you would add one.
NB Edited threads display a note to that effect
Deleting a thread
To delete a thread, either click the Edit button and then the Delete button on the Edit page, or click the icon above the thread. You will need to confirm you wish to permanently delete the item before deleting it.
Deleting multiple threads
When logged in as an administrator it is possible to delete multiple threads at the same time by ticking the checkboxes to the left of the threads and clicking Delete on the Administrator’s toolbar.
Creating new moderators
This can only be done by site administrators and should only be done by those who know exactly what they are doing! For security and brevity reasons the steps aren’t noted here so please liaise with your Silktide contact to set up new moderators.
