    Hi there. I recently have the problem that members can delete my topics despite I'm the Admin of the Forum. I'm a newbeginner and the page has been online for a few days now.

    I'm Also wondering how I can enter the forums options menu.

    If some pros out there know how to help, please comment this post.

    It is possible that when you set up the forums you gave regular members rights to control certain posts. By this you do not necessarily grant them individual rights, they can just do so because of the rights that particular forum gives them.

    In order to check to see what rights you have given in the forum you should go here to check:
    Admin Panel > General (tab up top) > Categories and Forums (tab on the side panel under forums)

    > This will allow you to click on your individual forums
    > Then on top of that forum menu there is a tab that says permissions click on that
    > Here you can view what rights you have given to certain level members. In this menu you can use the drop down selections or the section below where you mark off the box. Which ever one works best for you.

    To Check Individual Member's Permissions and Ranks
    Otherwise to check your member status you can go to Users and Groups > Then you can click on the member who is deleting the posts and scroll all the way down to the bottom of their info page and see if they are marked as Admin or you can go to their Permissions tab and see if they have moderator marked off.
