Log out as the admin, and log back in as the user you created earlier (and assigned to the Forum Admins group).

1. From the Menu, select Forum > List Forums.
2. Select the forum you created.
3. The Moderator actions area, contains special features for forum moderators.
   
   Using this toolbar, you can select topics in the forum and:
   • Move a topic from one forum to another.
   • Lock (or unlock a topic
   • Delete a topic.
   • Merge two (or more) topics into a single topic.
     

      Note

     The Move and Merge buttons appear only if you have more than one thread or forum.
