This is probably going to some dumb, but during your setup, you choose an Admin login/password. It automatically adds this user as a member with an option of "Admin Panel" in the member task bar.
The question is, Since technically the admin is now a member, do I have to go into the admin panel to utilize "admin rights" or since I am logged is an the administrator, I can perform all admin activities from within the site (example: kick or ban in chat, see all member profiles (private or not), etc.)
I really haven't been able to test this since the beta doesn't have many test members.
Thank
