  • No, I guess not. Although there is some variation between being an admin/user in terms of what you can do?

    But I expect this is another case where it looks like it might be very easy from the front end, but actually isn't at all

    Nope.

    Very equal.

    We see the same thing, the only difference is a few permissions grant me the edit functionality on other people's posts.

    There is very little I can do that you cannot. I wanted it that way, to avoid creating forums that had crazy dictators on them. I have a bit of control, but not some crazy admin control panel.

    Also... I found that good defaults on forums were far better for 99% of forums than a panel full of options, any of which could negatively change the site if they were set without the admin understanding the option.

    In essence: Admins are just users with a few more permissions.
