Hi!

[Crunchster]

Hi there, I just joined planning to get my post count up so I can become a regular member and promote my forum, which can be found in my signature along with some other things 😀

HI FP!!

Hi Crunchster, Welcome to Forum Promotion -happy-

 

[Crunchster]

Hi Mr. Admin/fowler sir

hehe

Well if I'm right I need 4 posts and this forum posts dont count, right?

 

[CyberFreak]

Yep 4 posts and posts in the introductions forum and the forum games don't count but in all the other forums they do... (this cuts down on spam like people signing up and posting 4 posts saying hello and so on)

 

[Crunchster]

Ya I can tell, well I just want to know how... how do you get sub forums do you have to pay? And like all these stuff? And post count?

 

[CyberFreak]

We have phpBB3 with advanced hosting so we have full control over our forum (which is why we have phpBB3) Features like sub forums and post counts only increase in certain forums are all default features of phpbBB3.

 

[Crunchster]

Oh... can you tell me how you got phpbb3? Just want to know because it's still going to take some time before FF updates.

 

[CyberFreak]

I have got advanced hosting through freeforums and downloaded phpBB3 from the phpBB website ( http://www.phpbb.com/ ) and uploaded it to the server and installed it.

 

[Crunchster]

I downloaded it before but I didn't know how do upload it, how do you upload it, can you do a step by step, please, if its not to much trouble?

 

[CyberFreak]

Firstly of all is this just for testing? Secondly do you have any hosting?

 

[Crunchster]

OH.. you need hosting... darn.... forget what I just posted 😀

 

[CyberFreak]

If you are testing you could either use a free host with php and MySQL or you could use a free phpBB3 forums host like http://www.phpbb3now.com/

 

[Crunchster]

I think I'll test it. So is that it, the link above.

 

[CyberFreak]

Yes... If you sign up at the site above you will have a free phpBB3 hosted forum which you can play with.
