Auth Dialog Box Displays an additional authentification popup box where you have to confirm your username and the password when changing a setting in your admin panel or when you visit your admin panel. Disallow "Send by email a new password" If this option is set to YES, administrators and moderators can't use the function "I forgot my password" anymore. Disallow Moderaotors to ban members Pretty much self-descriptive - if set to YES, moderators are not able to ban members anymore. Allow Moderators to see hidden users Defines if mods can see the username of hidden users. If this option is set to NO, moderators will, as any other member or visitor, just see in the "who is online" field that there is one hidden user online. The last three options are permanently activated security features. You can't deactivate them. Last actions done - Administration :: Here are visible all actions carried out recently, and which are related to the administration of the forum: * Creation / deletion of forums * Removing members * Forum url changes * The mass sent mails * Forum recovery at an earlier date * Etc ...
