How to add host in forum? TIA n/t

[progree]

1. Click the About button of whatever forum you are interested in adding a host

I clicked on the "About" button of Latest Breaking News, one of the main forums, https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=about&forum=1014

and found this:

Main Forum Hosts oversee Latest Breaking News, General Discussion, The DU Lounge, and DU Community Help (and The Way Forward and Editorials and Other Articles -Progree) They are regular DU members who meet certain eligibility requirements, and any DU member who meets these requirements may volunteer to serve as a Main Forum Host.

As for the remaining forums, I think they are all classified as topic forums, I clicked on the About button of one picked at random, the Economy group https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=about&forum=1116

and found this:

Topic Forum Hosts are assigned either by the DU Administrators, or by other Hosts of that Topic Forum. Topic Forum Hosts have the following abilities: ... 4) they may add other members as Hosts of the forum; and 5) they may remove any Host that became a Host after they did (and who is listed below their name on the list below).
