Hello, sorry if this maybe a dumb question... but how do i actually get the forum to work? I have uploaded all the files exactly as i downloaded them and the server im hosting on is ASP capable and it is enabled. I'm a complete newb at this forum idea so i have no idea on what to do to even show a page that looks like a forum! I have tried linking to the asp files but no such luck... i get a file download box... thanx for any help in return

In your webspace create a folder called forum and put all the files exactly as they are when they are unzipped, in that folder. Make sure that you keep all files in the correct folders!

Then reply and tell us what happens. The forum runs out of the box, as it where. Once you have get it running, then modifications can be made to make it more secure, look a certain way etc ...

Who are you webhosts?
