Your first 15 minutes

What to do right after the wizard.

1. Turn on two-factor for your Owner account: your profile › Security.
2. Run a first backup: Admin › Health & backups › Back up now.
3. Set up email: Admin › Site & Style › Notifications and email, then Admin › Health & backups › Send me a test email. Without it members can't confirm their email or reset passwords. Email on a VPS covers blocked ports.
4. Check your licence: Admin › Licence & updates shows the key you gave the wizard, your updates date and any new version waiting.
5. Review groups: Admin › Groups and Admin › Permissions. The defaults are safe; most owners only rename them.
6. Make your first post so new members know what the forum is about.
