This feature is most important when starting a site with NPDS.You can modify all the important information on your site and above all give it the look and feeling you want.
Below is an explanation for important NPDS settings.
For your site preferences, you can choose either of the Parse functions.
Allows the use of sending compressed data to browsers that support compressed pages.
Before ob_gzhandler() sends the compressed data, it determines which encoding types are supported by the browser ("gzip", "deflate" or none) and returns the contents of the buffers appropriately.All browsers are processed, because it is up to the browsers to send a header indicating the supported page types.
Only works with active Zlib (do a phpinfo();) and for Apache, mod_gzip activated.
Enables or removes access to the FileManager.Please note, only activate the FileManager when you need it.

These two files (ultramode.txt and net2zone.txt) contain the 10 latest news from your site.
