PhpBB Help

Post by SamBeckett94 »

I just downloaded phpBB. I have no idea how to set it up. Could somebody tell me how to, please?
Would be very much appreciated.

I think that they are of both equal quality. I think if you ask Hunch, he will help you. He is the PhpBB master.

You've downloaded the package, and now you have to extract it. This will create a folder that you can call forum, forums, phpBB, actually whatever you want.
Then you need a web account on which you can upload this folder. What hoster do you use?

I might create a forum just for fun, and so my website can have a forum.

Sam, I have sold my forum to Neo for 5,000 Tings. You might want to show him the basics, he is the new admin. :wink:

You are a greedy miser! In a good way, though.

That's your email server, but you need to choose a web hoster if you want to have a real forum ;)

I joined eight forums, so I am used to many different layouts and designs, adding a little more to my experience. For a 36 year old who has a lot on his mind, eight is a big number of forums to join.
