MyBB comes with many settings by default, configuring the various features of your forum. All of these settings are detailed in the Admin CP: Board Settings article.
This is the main page under the Settings section. From here, you can access each group of settings, see a description for each group, and see the number of settings inside each group.
When selecting a group of settings to edit, you will be presented with the list of settings available under that group, and you can change this at will. Certain settings will only be shown when other settings are set to yes, no, or a specific value. That is, only settings relevant to the selections you have made will be displayed - settings that only apply when another setting is set to "yes," for instance, will be hidden until the setting is set as needed. These hidden settings will appear instantly when making a change necessary to display the setting. Javascript is required to be on to use this feature; otherwise, all settings are shown.
From the settings group listing page, you can also show all settings at once by clicking on the "Show All Settings" link at the top of the settings table. Settings will be divided into their groups, with the ability to submit the changes at the bottom of each group.
You can also search for settings from the settings listing page. Simply enter the terms you would like to search for, click "Go," and your results will be loaded instantly. Again, the results will be divided into their corresponding groups. You can change your search at any time by changing the text and clicking on "Go." AJAX is used to load the results without reloading the entire page. However, you can search for settings with javascript disabled.
