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.
