FUDforum 2.3 has a number of tools that are available to moderators and administrators in regard to managing users and messages, this section covers those tools and gives tips on how to use them to their maximum potential.

Note

When referring to 'privileged users', this section refers to users who are moderators, administrators and to the users who have been granted permission pertaining to a certain ability using the groups permissions system if a relevant permission is available.

Custom Avatar Queue

This link will only be visible to the forum's administrator(s) should there be any custom avatars pending approval. Beside the link there will be a red number indicating the number of avatars that are pending administrative approval. Clicking on the link would take the administrator to the avatar approval form allowing them to approve or decline the avatar.

If the avatar is approved or declined, the user who had requested this avatar will be notified via a private message if private messaging system is enabled or via e-mail about the status of their avatar.
