+Each theme has a dedicated subpage showing the current status, some information about the theme and a screen-shot of the Friendica interface using the theme.
Should the theme offer special settings, admins can set a global default value here.
You can activate and deactivate themes on their dedicated sub-pages thus making them available for the users of the node.
Don't panic!
Friendica will not queue messages for all time but will sort out *dead* nodes automatically after a while and remove messages from the queue then.
+## Server Blocklist
+
+This page allows to block all communications (inbound and outbound) with a specific domain name.
+Each blocked domain entry requires a reason that will be displayed on the [friendica](/friendica) page.
