WoW
 

ok ok this is confusing. im trying to set up a forum for my site and im not Familiar with all this shit. is there like a book for "forums for dummies" or something cause i dont get this shit. i know all the CHMOD and crap but the only thing im having a problem with is when it says "create a new directory on your server named appropriately (if you wanted to access the forums via 'http://www.domain.com/forums/', create a directory called 'forums' in the 'public_html' or 'www' directory on your webserver"

what do the mean? i know after you do this how you drag and drop all the other stuff like "archive_in" etc. into a FTP client or something. so does anyone know how to help me out here or does this make absolutly no sence.

oops, thats what DOES this mean, not what do this mean

Please post in the correct forums.

for any good forums you will need aces to php and Mysql do a search and read up on these before attempting this
