Forum TypesBy default, ActiveBoard is offered in the multi-section mode. This type of board will have a main page that lists a series of forums grouped into logical headings called categories. You can add or remove forums and each forum can have any number of topics.
The simple board has only a single forum, and does not have a category page like the multi-section does. The main page of the simple board looks like any one of the forums in a multi-section board. It can have any number of topics, but all of the topics will be grouped together.
You can upgrade from the simple forum to the multi-section at any time, and all of your posts will be preserved by grouping them together in one forum of the new board.
If you switch a board with multiple forums to the simple mode, you will permanently lose all but one of your forums, and all of the posts in the other forums.
