It's really simple, actually. In your site, design the html or php that will make the panel and put it in there. Then just attach an if statement to the top and bracket/echo your html stuff. Lots of examples within yabbse's code. You can do a simple if they are a moderator, or you can even go specific user(s), something like this:

Code Select Expand

// HTML BEFORE YOUR BOX

<?PHP
global $db_prefix, $username
$request = mysql_query("SELECT moderators FROM {$db_prefix}boards WHERE moderators='$username' LIMIT 1;") or database_error(__FILE__, __LINE__);

if ($request != 0)
{
echo '
// HTML code to show panel
}
?>
// Other HTML for rest of page That would be roughly for a moderator of any board. For a specific user or users:

Code Select Expand

// HTML BEFORE YOUR BOX

<?PHP
global $username

if ($username == 'Youruser')
{
echo '
// HTML code to show panel
}
?>
// Other HTML for rest of page

If you had the page code, you could post it or send it and I'd be able to give you a bit more specific example.
