New administrator that needs some guidance

[cmasonrun]

I am a new administrator and got handed the task of administering our forums at work, I have a few questions on how to do a few things?

1. I would like to restrict users from being able to post links from external websites. When a user clicks add image they are given the two options, the first is an upload and the second is from URL. How can I make the “From URL” disappear? Does it require a code change?

2. The different departments would like to have a “Moderator” account for themselves. I need to grant each moderator access to a certain section and only that section. How would I go about doing that?

3. Any suggestions on “pruning” the posts that haven’t been active for a certain period of time? I have found a 3rd party php script and would like some insight on this.

for number 1 you need to put in a support ticket

for number 2 visit your admincp --> click the forums & moderators tab... assign from there

number 3 totally depends on how active your forums are, for small places I would suggest locking after 1 year without a post for larger forums I would go with 3-4 month's.

*assign someone to a category & they become mod for all child forums within that category.
