UseBB 0.7 does not yet have an ACP component for assiging moderators. Therefore, this small guide. You need a database management tool (preferrably phpMyAdmin).

1. Go to the table usebb_members;
2. Search the row of the user you want to make a moderator and edit the row;
3. Set the member’s level to 2 (= moderator, 3 = administrator);
4. Submit your edited table row;
5. Go to the table usebb_moderators;
6. Open the insert feature of your database management tool;
7. Insert the user’s ID in the user_id field;
8. Insert the forum’s ID (not the sort ID!) in the forum_id field;
9. Submit your new table row;
10. Repeat step 3 to 6 for other forums (if needed);
11. Repeat all steps for other users (if needed).

To remove moderators, delete the appropriate row in usebb_moderators, and set the user's level back to 1 (if he/she does not moderate any forums anymore).

Note: When removing forums (or categories), UseBB 0.7 takes care himself of unsetting moderators of the forum(s) being deleted.

Note 2: You could also use the ACP module made by Gaia.

I have just downloaded and installed the latest version and now want to change the details of the moderator i.e. I want to change the user name to make it a little less personal.

This post explains how to do that but I wonder if the modification was included in the latest version as I would hate to mess up what I presently have on line - took enough trouble getting there without messing it up unnecessarily.

I have not noticed anything relating to this in the ACP.

Comments will be appreciated.

Please do not post support posts in the Documentation, Tips & Tricks forum. Also, this topic applies to 0.7 which was released 1.5 years ago.
