Also, I might mention that as soon as we get a few members, I'm going to be looking for a moderator to help me run the place. So if you're interested, sign up and stick around!
Consider switching to MyBB. It's totally free, and looks considerably more professional. I could even help you set it up in full if you want. Oh, and by professional I mean no ads, no weird spaces in the text, an enhanced editing system, and thousands of addins and themes to chose from!
Sure - No problem. I'd have to say that at this point at least 75% of all forums are myBB, you rarely see any succesful full-hosted forums, such as Zetaboards and Forumotion.
mybb.com
Ask around; they'll say it's the best free forum software 😉
(Note: I'm not a MyBB salesperson 😛 ... I just think that it seems like you have a good idea for a unique forum and I thought I'd give you a few tips on how to give it a good start.)
I was looking around on their website and decided to give it a try.... But I can't figure out how to get it past the point of downloading the file and unzipping the file. I've already looked on their webpage and the instructions aren't helping. Any tips?
Ok. From now on it gets harder to understand. Bear with me. I am literally around 10 minutes before going to bed, so I cannot help you further tonight. However, around 22 hours from now (tomorrow, this time - 2 hours) I would be more than happy to help you install it. First off, let me explain what you'll have to do. You're going to be getting into a seperate host. A host is an online webhost where your site's files and databases are stored and used on the public. All you're going to have to do is set up a free hosting account with the host I reccomend, and then upload your site's files. After that, then it's just back to the familiar admin panel. At this time I do not have time to write all the instructions; maybe another member could do that for you, or, like I said, I will be back on tomorrow with plenty of time to get it up and running to the fullest in around minutes. Thanks man, good luck with it, and trust me, it sounds liek a lot of work but it's all worth it 🙂🙂🙂
I think I'm starting to understand? What host do you recommend again? Is there another online MyBB that I upload all the files that I downloaded to? Sorry for being so slow on this, kinda new to these things.
Some forum hosts such as HawkHost have the Softaculous auto installer its just one click...no need to install yourself unless you just want to know how. Just throwing this out there as an option.
Do you mean free host as in one you can install it on? Or a free host that offers Mybb? Sorry I don't know any free hosts but this site hosts Mybb forums for free all you have to do is sign up.
Don't know of any free hosts. The site I linked you to is a free forum hosting site but all it uses is mybb....its like Forumotion or some other free hosts it just uses mybb and thats all. Good luck.
So far I've actually been really happy with Zetaboards... or everything except the weird and hard to remember URL, and then of course the ads. Anyway, I installed a new skin! Go check it out and maybe register if you like animals! 🙂 Thanks guys. http://s11.zetaboards.com/Animal_Talk/index/
