Boards are a fundamental part of forums, where topics are posted. Boards are displayed on the [[Board Index]] and should be organized into [[categories]] to make it easier for viewers.<br /><br /> When a board is placed inside a board it is called a [[child board]], or sub board. A board with child boards is called a [[parent board]]. For example, take this board layout:
[[Category:SMF terminology]]
 
</noinclude>
* Household Pets
** Dogs and Cats
** Birds and Reptiles
 
* Training Your Pets
 
<br /> In this case, ''Household Pets'' is a [[parent board]]. The child boards are the two boards beneath it: ''Dogs and Cats'' and ''Birds and Reptiles''. ''Training Your Pet'' is just a regular board. If the ''Dogs and Cats'' board were to branch off into the breeds of each animal then it would be both a parent and a child. Its children would be called grandchildren. In summary, the names of the boards reflect their layout:
 
* [[Parent board]]
** [[Child board]]
** [[Parent board]]
 
*[[Parent Board]]
**[[Child Board]]
**[[Child board]] and [[parent board]]
* Regular Board
 
<br /> Administrators can set [[permissions by board]], and select which [[membergroups]] have access to it through their [[Administration Center]]. Administrators can set many more options per board, such as themes and whether the posts inside the board will increase a <span class="GramE">members</span> post count or not.<br /><br /> By default you are limited to creating approximately 65535 boards. In the unlikely event that you will require more, this can easily be increased.
