Block Manager and Easy Editor

[Mev]

Hi people, I've just brought our forums up-to-date, going from 3.4.X to the latest. From what I've seen of other's forums you're able to modify the design, layout and add in blocks. With that said, I don't seem to have a "magic wand" button on my theme to access the Easy Editor nor an arrow on the left side of my forums to add/modify blocks. Is there something I'm missing?

Edit: Looks like I'd been added in the moderator permissions both under my group and myself when I was brought onto the staff. My group had permissions to edit the sidebar but I was personally set to have no access. All sorted, thanks again!

You need to adjust the moderator permission for the sidebar.

Yup, sorry, had just figured it out. Appreciate the help.
