Terminology

Post by Joan » 5 years ago

  • phpBB the underlying software of this site, and where most of the terminology in this post comes from
  • BBCode a version of HTML which many websites use, including <ahem> Xenforo. You will see more of it here, as there isn't a WYSIWYG editor. You can read more about it in this primer
  • Board this whole site
  • Category forums grouped together, eg Site Related
  • Forum an single discussion area, eg Tips & Hints
  • Topic a single subject of discussion. Known on other sites as a thread.
  • Post an individual contribution to a topic
  • OP original post/original poster - the first post (or the author of that post) in a topic.
  • UCP User Control Panel - click on your name in the top right hand corner to access it.
  • Global Moderator someone who has moderator power across the whole site. PhpBB allows for category or forum moderators as well. Moderators can edit or remove content, and enforce the rules.
  • Administrators controls the layout of the site; create or delete forums or categories; activate and deactivate users etc
