Hey all,
I know i'm gonna be one of them stupid people who needs help setting up a site.
Me and a friend want to set up a forum.
We've looked into the free ones, and they're looking crap.

I want to know what we need to do. We've found a template that we like. And we're discussing domain names and seeing if they're available.

We need help getting started and needing to know what we need.

I know you guys probably hate people like me.

If anyone could give me some tips would be appreciated (esp if they could be in laymans terms!!!)

Thanks in Advance!

Welcome to the board!

Find a provider that has auto-installers like Fantastico that can do a lot of the complicated setup work for you. After that it's just a matter of configuring your forum the way you want it. Most hosts now a days have auto-installers (that install various types of software packages)

Best Regards,

it is a good forum
