First, go to your admin control panel. Then from there, there should be a place to add moderators and other admins. Sorry about the lack of detail but I don't have PHPBB installed right now.

If you really need help, just go to http://www.phpbb.com and look at the documentation. There also should be some documentation in the admin control panel. Although, I am not so sure.

1. login as admin
2. go to the admin control panel
3. once inside CP, click MANAGEMENT under USER ADMIN. (it's in the bottom part of the left frame menu).
4. type in username of forum member you want to add as moderator, then click "look up user".
5. you will be presented with the user profile of the member. scroll down till you reach the "special admin-only fields".
6. select "rank title" you want to give that user (since you want that user to be moderator, select MODERATOR).
7. click "submit" and you're done. smile.gif

do this within IE, since firefox has some issues (i don't know if it has been resolved already in recent updates) with passwords in phpbb. in firefox before, password tends to be reset for the user you are trying to edit. just to be on the safe side, use IE for this. otherwise, the user you just gave moderator status won't be able to login with his old password since it has been reset.

I initially also didnt know how to set it but I soon figure it out, I think you can also go to advance permission or some permission page and find the user, and there's a drop down bar that shows the rank for the member and change it from there...

    only for phpBB3.0.x though... (9)
    For those of you who are hosted on Trap17 and using phpBB3.0.x you might want to consider adding
    some mods... Some mods which I extremely highly recommend to get is: #1 "Anti-Bot Question" mod,
    which adds a question like "can you see through glass?" (not actual example, result may vary),
    according to many people who have tried the mod, it is REALLY useful at keeping low-medium level
    advanced bots at bay, although some extremely complex advanced bots may still get through... I
    personally don't have this mod, but I would install it if I have the time to... #2 "Evi....
