==Resetting a forum password==

If a member forgets their forum password they can reset it by going to the login page of the forum and selecting "I Forgot my Password". Members can then enter their username and the email address associated with the account, and a new temporary password will be emailed to them. Members are advised to then login in using the temporary password and change it under User Control Panel to one they will remember.

~~==Forum moderation==~~

If a member cannot remember which email address they used, or can no longer access to the email address they registered with, they should contact the Director of Operations, [[User:Laura_karpinski|Laura Karpinski]] who will be able to reset their email address.

==Forum Moderators==

Some staff positions carry with them moderation powers in their subforum. This allows them to do the following:

* Post new announcements in the subforum

* Post 'sticky' threads in the subforum

* Edit other threads to make them announcements, stick or normal

* Edit other people's posts

* Lock a thread

* Move a thread (including moving posts to The Archive)

* Merge a thread with another thread

* Split a post from a thread

Moderators should move threads/posts to The Archive rather than deleting them, in case a record is needed later on.

Moderators may also have access to the Moderator Control Panel (MCP) which allows them to view and close reports on posts or PMs and view moderator logs.

==Forum Administrators==

Only Directors have administrator access on the forum. This allows them access to the Administrator Control Panel (ACP). This requires an additional login to access.

The Administrator Control Panel can be used to manage members (including their registration details and usergroups), usergroups, forums and alter forum settings and permissions.
