|  | Only Forum Administrators can add Moderators to a Forum. | 
      
        |  |  | 
      
        |  |   Moderators play an important role in the Forum, taking active part | 
      
        |  |  in the maintenance, organization and content of the Forum. | 
      
        |  |  Moderators can be added to the Forum at any time. | 
      
        |  |   The Forum Administrator has control over the scope of these capabilities. | 
      
        |  |  Please refer to Before You Begin and Edit Forum's General Configuration | 
      
        |  |  sections for more on this subject. | 
      
        |  |   Regular users can easily identify Moderators and their messages by a series of visual clues. | 
      
        |  |  Moderators' names and photo borders are green, versus the regular users' default color (typically gray). | 
      
        |  |  Note: Forum Administrators can change the users' default gray, but Moderator's will remain green. | 
      
        |  |  Please refer to the Customizing Forum Color Sheme section for more information. |

        |  |   To avoid duplication, the names of existing forum moderators with their corresponding userids | 
      
        |  |  are listed to the right of the New User ID text field. | 
      
        |  |  | 
      
        |  | 1.  Type the new moderator UserID in the [New UserId] text field. | 
      
        |  |     You must enter a unique UserID. | 
      
        |  |    If you enter a UserID that already exists, you can either: | 
      
        |  |    a. Click  to edit the existing user and give him Moderator status. | 
      
        |  |    b. Click the Back link to return to the Add Moderators editing form. | 
      
        |  | 2.  Click  to add a new moderator. | 
      
        |  |    Note: Click the Clear button to clear the form. | 
      
        |  |     The frame updates to the Adding User form. | 
      
        |  | 3.  Edit User Information. | 
      
        |  |     Much of the user information is pre-entered with default values. | 
      
        |  |    You can edit any and all. | 
      
        |  |     For more information on user editing, refer to the Editing Users section. |
