I apologize for what are likely three stupid questions. I am new to all of this (however I have built my own computers, Web pages, etc.)
The questions concern the public dispaly of PHPWSBS. I have downloaed and installed the latest version... working well, no problems. I have checked the documents and even looked in to the code, but I cannot figure out the following...
1.) How can I set the display so that more than 5 forums at a time will display automatically when a member enters the screen with the Bulletin Board?
2.) How can I (or can I) disable the BB Search so that it does not appear to the members?
3.) How do I change the Text at the top of the BB from "Bulletin Board Forum" to something else?
Thanks for any help

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'm not sure if either of those things are easily customizable other than editing code. With that in mind, Dana was right for #3.
For #1, you'll want to edit the conf/manager.php and edit the values for "limits" in this section of code:
/* The paging parameters for the list */
$forumsPaging = array( "op"=>"PHPWSBB_MAN_OP=list",
"limit"=>50,
"section"=>1,
"limits"=>array(5,10,25,50),
"back"=>"<<",
"forward"=>">>"
);
As far as #2 goes, you could perhaps remove the conf/search.php file. Not sure about that though. I'll ask. Give it a try.

Removing the search block from the forums is easy. Just enter the search settings (Control Panel - Administration - Search Settings) and uncheck the checkbox next to phpwsbb.
After pressing save, the search box will be gone.

For #3, sounds like you need to edit the template files:
.../mod/phpwsbb/templates/*.tpl
