Where to get info on everything

I'm one step below a newbie, if that's possible. I have just started attempting to build a web site. I find, however I am working blind with no documentation.
There doesn't seem to be any explanation about how to do anything. I have access to cpanel and SiteStudio but no explanations about how to use them. A few examples:

1) I want to select just one webmail for all users but it always offers three. How do I eliminate the other two?
2) I selected for install the phpBB but have no clue how to customize it. It always appears as yourdomain.com in the heading
3) SiteStudio seems OK but I'm just going by trial and error. It's difficult to see the various screens given their small size so I have to guess at it and try it out with various pics and text and then decide if it will work. Each time I do so it takes about a half hour or more and then have to toss it out if I don't like it.

These are specific questions but it would be nice to have a manual that has headings like: "How do I utilize (fill in programs, scripts,etc)?

If you have phpBB already installed, you need to log in with your account (which will automatically be an administrator), and down at the bottom of the page will be a link for the Administration Panel. Once in there, you can configure all aspects of the board with the menu on the left.

To change the forum header would be under "General Admin" and then "Configuration."

Thanks for responses. I still think a manual (electronic or otherwise) or tutorials would be good. They're around but having to ferret them out is a challenge. Just these 2 responses saved me a lot of time. Now on to the next item to figure out.

HI,

I have my own box (dedicated server) and I have install nutsmail for the webmail interface.

I did change the alias so it doesn't send user to the prompt box and are redirected to the nustmail interface instead of the 3 webmail programs.

But yes, you need to have your own box for this to happen. I have done it and all domain on my server are pointing to the nutsmail instead of the 3 webmail that was quite a pain for my clients to choose.

Yes that's correct Serra!

I have used RvSkin to disable webmail programs.
