Hi,
This is my first time of using this forum software, I just downloaded and install it on my VPS host.
Please how do I

• Hide messages by default in Both front page, category page and profile page?
• Remove the read more link entirely, I will like the website to look like forum and not blog.
• Any way to auto moderate the posts by unverified members?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can try the solution given here to hide the messages by default:
http://codologic.com/forum/index.php?u=/topic/3659/set-yes-by-default-of-switch-toggle/1#post-11680

Remove the read more link entirely, I will like the website to look like forum and not blog.

You can hide the link using css

Add the following css in sites/default/themes/default/less/general.less file:

.codo_readmore_container a {
    color: #fff;
}

Any way to auto moderate the posts by unverified members?

Unverified users cannot post, so why will you need moderation ?
