Greetings,
I've just downloaded and installed your forums... I was able to do all of the admin functions (create, modify the default admin account, create/modify forums, etc), but if I try to create a new topic in one of the forums, I'm given a 404.

I couldn't find a reference to this particular problem in this forum, and the "Documentation and FAQ's\FAQ2" seems ot be missing from the documentation.

Thanks in advance!

My guess is that it is a 500 internal server error, not a 404. Have a look closer at the message.

Turn off friendly HTTP error messages in IE, so you can get what the error is.

Try to re-upload all the forum files and the problem will be solved

AAAHHHH!
I was about to do just that, Mikael... then I noticed that my ftp client had terminated its connection from the server before loading up the last 6 or 7 docs... including the post_message_form doc. I got the rest of the docs up and it's working like a charm.

Cheers to the developers, I look forward to skinning it up and getting some proper use out of it.
