The Main Board is a special conference. This conference is the base conference of PCBoard and it is sometimes referred to as conference 0. When a user abandons a conference they will be returned to the Main Board conference.

The reason that there are two different menu options on the Main Menu is because the following fields that are available in other conference definitions would have no effect on the Main Board Conference:

Conference Name
Public Conference
Password to Join if Private
Req. Security if Public
Auto-Register Flags

The Main Board is a public conference by default and the conference that most people will login to. You can lock a user out of the Main Board if you wish, by setting the L conference flag in a user's record.

For information on all of the fields available in the Main Board Configuration screen, please reference the Conferences > Display Files And Message Locations and Conference Options Screen sections.
