Please see SMF1.1:Administration Center or SMF2.0:Administration Center depending on the version of SMF you are using.
The Administration Center is the home page of your admin panel. From here, you can change any settings on your forum, ranging from membergroups to board customisation.
The first two sections on this page are the "Live information from Simple Machines" and "Support Information" panels.
The "Live from Simple Machines" panel is used to allow administrators of the forum to keep up-to-date with important information regarding updates, bug fixes, and security issues. The news here is loaded daily onto this page.
"Support Information" is used to collect data, files, and the version from the forum. This information can be useful for diagnosing issues in a support topic at the Simple Machines Community Forum. Selecting the more detailed listing will present a list of files and their exact version.
Below the live information panels in the Administration Center, forum management is broken down into separate sections, allowing easier administration of the forum. There is a more detailed menu located either above, or to the side of, the live panels (depending on the forum's configuration).
A small search box is also present. It allows you to search the administration section for a setting or specific member profile. It also allows you to search the old documentation site for help and support.
