I am trying to setup a forum but it keeps timing out on me. This is the message I get:

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.

My question is where exactly can I find the Server.ScriptTimeou? Which ASP page is it on and where?

Please help, Thanks

The scripttimeout is set on the server.

You should never see this error, the fact that you are means that the server you are using is either under heavy load and unable to process pages in a timely manner or there are some serious issues with the server, either way you need to contact your web host.
