Edit Categories
From this menu you are able to edit \"Categories\". Categories are the upper-level topics for a forum. For example, if you had a wide-ranging site that offered information on \"Sports\" and \"Cars\" and \"Music\", these would be the top-level Categories you'd create. Under each of these categories you'd likely want to create heirarctical \"sub-categories\", or \"Boards\" for topics within each. Here's a small example:
Categories allow you to break down the board into broad topics (\"Cars, Sports\"), and the \"Boards\" under them are the actual topics under which members can post. In the above example, a user interested in Pinto's would post a message under \"Cars->Pinto\". Categories allow people to quickly find what their interests are: Instead of a \"Store\" you have \"Hardware\" and \"Clothing\" stores you can go to. This simplifies your search for \"pipe joint compound\" because you can go to the Hardware Store \"category\" instead of the Clothing Store (where you're unlikely to find pipe joint compound)." ; $helptxt[1] = "Edit Boards
In this menu you can create/reorder/remove the boards under the categories discussed above. It's a simple hierarchy, with this structure:
As noted above, a Board is a key topic underneath a broad category. If you want to discuss \"Pintos\" you'd go to the \"Auto\" category and jump into the \"Pinto\" board to post your thoughts in that board.
Administrative functions for this menu item are to create new boards under each category, to reorder them (put \"Pinto\" behind \"Chevy\"), or to delete the board entirely." ; $helptxt[2] = "Edit YaBB SE News

View all members in the board. You are presented with a hyperlinked list of member names.

You may create or modify \"Member Groups\". Member Groups are special groups that you can create to restrict access to certain categories on your forum. For example, you can create a category, where only the \"test\" membergroup can access and see it." ; $helptxt[6] = "Email Your Members
From this menu you can send messages to all members who've registered and entered their email addresses (not all will, of course). You may edit the distribution list, or send messages to all. Useful for important update/news information. However, use sparingly, the board doesn't have an \"opt in/out\" feature, and may users may object to having messages sent to them without their authorization." ; $helptxt[7] = "Ban Members
YaBB SE provides the ability to \"ban\" users, to prevent people who have violated the trust of the board by spamming, trolling, etc. This allows you to those users who are detrimental to your forum. As an admin, when you view messages, you can see each user's IP address used to post at that time. In the ban list, you simply type that IP address in, save, and they can no longer post from that location.
You can also ban people through their email address." ; $helptxt[8] = "Set Reserved Names
