IMPORTANT: Make sure your guild members register a forums account using their in-game name. This will allow you to easily manage forum permissions using your guild roster.
You can now set up categories and topics as you'd like through the Forum Administration Panel.
The administration access for the phpBB forums is separate from the guild Administrator Console. The link to the forums phpBB Administration Panel is at the bottom of the forums pages if you are logged into the forums as an admin.
Setting up your forum permissions, groups and moderators will help you better manage your forums:
- See the official phpBB guide on setting up permissions:
http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/phpbb3-permissions/
- Also, make sure to check out the following tip on group permissions

Also, remember that item hovers work in your forum posts. Like so:
Code:
[item]Crystalforge Breastplate[/item]
Crystalforge Breastplate
