How do you enter debug mode and how do you confirm it's on?

I asked this question at vbulletin.com (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153385) and was told by Steve Machol (a vB developer) that all I have to do is put

$debug = 1;

anywhere in the config.php file (between the opening and closing PHP tags, of course). I was also told that I would know when it's on.

Well, I put that statement in the config.php of my test board and uploaded it. I looked at the board's front end, seemed normal. I looked at the admin cp, seemed normal. So far, it's not obvious that debug mode is on, although Steve implied it would be.

I tried installing this hack on my test board. It doesn't show up in the admincp. Now apparently it should show up in the admincp if debug mode is on, and it should also be obvious that it's on, but nothing seems different to me. So I figure I must be doing something wrong, and debug mode is not on. What's my problem?
