General settings are in the General tab of the administration control panel, under Board configuration.
Board settings
- Site name and Site description: shown at the top of the forum. They can also be changed from My forums, together with the directory category. A term refused by the service rules prevents saving.
- Default language: installed languages are managed by the platform; you choose the forum’s language, and each member can choose their own in their profile.
- Guest timezone: the time used in dates for visitors.
- Disable board: closes the forum to members and visitors, for example while you reorganise it.
Other Board configuration screens
Board features turns phpBB functions on or off (BBCodes, signatures, private messages…). The neighbouring screens set their details: avatar, private message, posting, signature, feed and registration settings (see Member registration).
