CPanel
allows you to install a pre-made forum called phpBB. The phpBB is
a PHP web-based bulletin board. Unlike an e-mail list or newsgroup,
the phpBB creates a forum on your web site that allows users to
post questions and receive replies, all from their web browser.
This allows you to choose from a variety of graphical interfaces
and smilies - little faces that communicate the mood of the writer
.
Once a forum has been created you can modify it extensively, from
adding new sub-forums to changing the visual appearance of the board.
Be sure to visit the phpBB web site - http://www.phpbb.com/
- for more information on how to customize and use your phpBB
Note:
Keep in mind that each separate installation of phpBB
takes up several megabytes, and will grow in size with the popularity
of the forum.
To
install a phpBB forum:
-
Click
on the Bulletin Board button on the home page.
-
Enter
the name of the forum folder in the available field. Note that
the folder must be on the top level of your site.
-
Click
on the Install button.
