Your Admin Options
The Forum ☛ Admins ☛ Your Options administration panel is where Admins and Moderators can set their user specific options that they want.
Your Admin/Moderator Options
Display the Admin Bar
The Admin Bar is an optional ‘toolbar’ that only admins can see. It is positioned at the very top of the forum. It displays the number of new posts that an admin has not yet read and the number of new posts awaiting approval (moderation) with a link to enable quick viewing of each one. Also displayed are quick links to the Admin Panels and a toggle to turn on/off the Admin Tool Icons. In order to be able to display the admin bar, the admins queue must be enabled in the global admin options.
Fix Admin Bar to top of Window
The Admin Bar can be fixed to the top of the browser window so it is always in view. Note that some older browsers – such as IE6 – do not support this.
Notify Admin (email) on new Topic/Post
Every time a new post is made, an email will be sent to you.
Display Unread Posts on Front Page
A list of posts that an Admin has not yet read or moderated (admin new posts queue) or the user latest posts list can be optionally displayed on the main/front forum page where the post content can be quickly viewed. The display and location of these post lists is controlled by the admin new post queue option (global admin options), the your admin display unread posts on front page option and the forum option for new posts at top or bottom.
If the admins new post queue is disabled, this option controls displaying the user latest posts list. If the admins new post queue is enabled and the admin bar is enabled, this option also controls displaying the user latest posts list. In both cases, the forum option for new posts at top or bottom controls the location.
If the admins new post queue is enabled, but the admin bar is not enabled, then this option controls the display of the admins new queue list at the top or bottom of the forum depending upon the forum option for new posts location.
