I'm assuming you mean the SMF forums. The last version of SMF I have used is from 2 years ago, but the process should still be the same. Mod privileges for them are done on a board-by-board basis, and not on a Global level. So, while logged in as an Admin, click on the Admin menu item. Then, under the 'forum' menu category, click on the 'Boards' option, which should default to the 'modify boards' tab. For each board that you have, you will need to click on the 'modify' option, which brings up the 'Modify Boards and Categories' screen for that board. Scroll down that screen to the 'Moderators' section and enter the user name or names of the members you wish to give Moderator privileges to for that board. If more than one, separate the names with commas. Click the 'modify' button at the bottom to save the changes. If you want the same people for each board, I recommend copying the list into the clipboard, so you can then paste the names into each board as you modify them.

Okay, here's an easier method (just goes to show how long it's been since I've looked at this stuff myself). If the User is going to be a Global Moderator, you can also select the "Membergroups" menu item from your Admin screen. Under the Edit Members tab, click on the "Global Moderator" Name under the Regular Groups. From the screen that comes up, you can manually enter the names of those users you want to be set as Global Moderators, thus not having to do it on a board-by-board basis. The "!" to the right of the text box opens up a pop-up dialog that you can select the Users directly from. After the names have been entered, click on the Add Members button. Then, just make sure you have the permissions set that you want Global Moderaters to have, under the "Permissions" menu item.

Rodent I think you may be talking about phpbb that has that feature in it and even if smf did have it I would have no ideal how to what I want I have been trying for over two years to get a lousy little upload tool added to the custom profiles tool so I can add upload options at the register section for pictures and make it mandatory I tried the same for phpbb for a lot longer then that no body want to do it. This is the primairy reason why I can not get my site up on till I get this done.

I use the SMF forum for my Gaping Maws page: http://www.gapingmaws.com/MawTalk/ so that's what I used before to see how to do this. I simply haven't had to make any changes on their since setting it up 2 years ago, so I didn't recall what the process was for setting those preferences up. But it's definitely SMF and not phpbb.
