Answer:

Hi inger,

Please see below for the answers to your questions.  In these answers, I'm making the assumption that by being "made one of the admins", you are actually a forum administrator, and not a moderator. 

In my admin panel, I don't see any user management. Is it possible to see the list of registered users, and how? Will I be able to delete users?

Yes, it is possible to see the list of registered users.  Go to the administration area, and go to the Users menu on the side navigation.  Under the Management tab, you can view the users there and update user's profile.

I also see no option for visitor counting. I would like to see how many times a certain posting has been visited/read, is that possible?

Yes, please ensure that the Topic Counter feature is enabled in the administration interface.

Under E-mail in the admin panel one and the same mail address has been set for admin, approver, subscription etc. Is it possible to have more than one mail address for each field?

It is defaulted to take the administrator's email address for each of these roles/functions. You can identify a different email address for each of the roles, if you wish.  At this time, it is limited to only one email address.

When I registered for this forum, I didn't get any CAPTCHA or any other security thing. I got my password in the mail from you, but anyone could do that. How is the forum protected against spam? (Hence my question about deleting users)

You can implement CAPTCHA on the forums if you wish.  FuseTalk has an email scrambling feature that prevents users from getting spammed.  You can also have the user create the password, but enable the complex password feature, forcing the user to abide by the rules of the password created.  There is also a banning feature that will help prevent unwanted users or IP ranges from posting.

I have been made one of the admins of a newly created forum, and since I have experience only from phpbb forums, I have some questions:

In my admin panel, I don't see any user management. Is it possible to see the list of registered users, and how? Will I be able to delete users?

I also see no option for visitor counting. I would like to see how many times a certain posting has been visited/read, is that possible?

Thanks for your answers, which helped me a lot. You were right in assuming that I had been appointed one of the administrators.

As I play around with the forum I will certainly find out more and more about the various features. If I come across something I don't understand, I'll get back to this forum with more questions
