Administration

FUDforum is controlled via a series of control panels that are readily available to all of the forum's administrators via the "Admin Control Panel" (ACP) link found on nearly every single page of the forum.

Using these control panels, the administrator is able to adjust all of the forum's aspects as well as to manage the forum's files and modify the forum's templates via a convenient template editor.
