Admin panel?
Hi, I'm considering using ElkArte for my forums, but I'm having a hard time finding information about what the interface is like for admin?
Will I need to be able to code to run these forums? Or is it manageable through a GUI, like PHPBB forums and such? How user-friendly are these for the admin?

Don't worry about being a newbie. Everyone starts somewhere. What the localhost means is you can install WAMP to run a forum on your PC. WAMP is software allowing your PC to act as a local server visible only to you. Well, technically it can be configured to allow outside access, but it isn't advised for numerous reasons. Anyway, a localhost or local install allows you to test software without messing up a production server environment. A sandbox. It's a great way to learn!

I've attached some screenshots from the admin interface, they might help regarding user-friendliness.
