Differences between Forum and Category


When it comes to set permissions in forums, the most frequent problem experienced by new members is the fact that sometimes, they don't see the permission control panel, even if they are in Management+. The reason is simple : many newbies have problems to differenciate forums and categories.

Differences between "Forum" and "Category"

Arrow Examples on this forum : "Miscellaneous"

Forum
