is a section in the ACP that allows you to keep track of internal phpBB information, such as logs, as well as maintaining your database (which holds your phpBB-related data), such as backing up and restoring data.
3.9.1. Forum Logs
The Forum Log section of the ACP provides an overview of what has been happening on the board. There are four types of logs:
- Admin Log
This log records all actions carried out within the administration panel itself.
- Moderator Log
This logs records the actions performed by moderators of your board. Whenever a topic is moved or locked it will be recorded here, allowing you to see who carried out a particular action.
- User Log
This log records all important actions carried out either by users or on users. All email and password changes are recorded within this log.
- Error Log
This log shows you any errors that were caused by actions done by the board itself, such as errors sending emails. If you are having problems with a particular feature not working, this log is a good place to start. If enabled, addtional debugging information may be written to this log.
If you have appropriate permissions, you are able to remove any or all log entries from the above sections.
