Chapter 3. User Experience: Visitors
In the previous chapters you learned about what phpBB is and how to install it. It is time now to take a closer look at how it actually works and the kind of features it offers to users, moderators, and administrators.
In this chapter you will learn how phpBB works from a visitor’s perspective.
As more and more people join your online community, chances are that they’ll start asking questions about some of the board features. You should be able to guide them and respond to their concerns if you want to be a good, understanding, and helpful host to the community. That’s why it’s a good idea to know in detail how your phpBB-powered forum works.
If you’ve just jumped from the previous chapter, you may be still logged in as an administrator. Log out and let’s get started with the tour of the new forum walking in visitor’s shoes.
