Error Log
The Error Log will show you errors that occur on your board. Any error that sends a message to a member will be displayed here (even though these are not really errors) as well as errors that are generated in the coding of the board or mods you may have added.
This can be a helpful tool to see when banned members try to access again or to see when there are other little things not working quite right.
The error log can be deleted one occurrance at a time or all at once. You can check the errors you wish to delete, and then click the Remove Selection button, or simply remove every error in the error log by clicking the Remove All button.You can also filter the error list by showing only the same error message, error caused by a particular member, error message caused by a particular location of your forum, or error message caused from a particular IP address by clicking the small icon to left of each of the details explaining that part of the error message.
Administration Log
This section allows members of the admin team to track some of the administrative actions that have occurred on the forum. To ensure that admins cannot remove references to the actions they have performed, entries may not be deleted until 24 hours after the action was taken.
Moderation Log
This section allows members of the moderation team to track all the moderation actions that the forum moderators have performed. To ensure that moderators cannot remove references to the actions they have performed, entries may not be deleted until 24 hours after the action was taken.
Ban Log
The Ban Log shows a log of every ban you have done on your forum.
The first column shows the ip address that was banned. Next to that is the email address that was banned, and next to that is the membername that was banned. Then there is the date that the ban was done and right next to that is a check box you would use to remove the selected log entries.

The Log Pruning section of the Administration Center is designated for the pruning (deletion) of old logs, normally not needed after a certain period of time but can take up a noticeable space in your database.
The first setting on this page Enable pruning of log entries allows you to set whether you want logs to ever be pruned from your forum, having this option unchecked will keep logs from being deleted, even if certain logs are specified to be deleted after a certain amount of days.
The following logs are able to be pruned, and can be set how old the must be to be deleted on this page. Just enter a integer value in the corresponding inputs to determine after how many days should logs related to the input field be pruned. The prunable logs are:
- Remove error log entries - The error logs come from the errors generated on your forum. You can see these error logs in the #Error Log section of your Administration Center.
- Remove moderation log entries - The moderation logs are logs of the moderation actions performed on your forum, examples include deleting a post or topic, editing a post, or moving a topic. These logs can be viewed in the Moderation Log section in your Moderation Center of your forum.
- Remove ban hit log entries - When a member is banned and tries to access your forum, he or she will trigger logs of their attempt to access your forum while they are banned to let you know that they tried to get on your forum. You can find these logs in the Ban Log page of the Ban List section of your Administration Center.
- Remove report to moderator log entries - When a post is reported to moderators, the record of the report is saved. You can find these logs in the Reported Posts section of the Moderation Center.
- Remove scheduled task log entries - When scheduled tasks are performed on your forum, logs of them being performed are saved. You can view these logs by going to the Scheduled Tasks section of the Forum Maintenance section of the Administration Center and selecting the View Log link.
