I don't get it...at all...I downloaded it, then tried puting it in an html document, and only some of it appeared...the rest was just a whole bunch of other stuff...

You need to download, then edit the file config.inc.php or something to match your MySQL values. Upload the mess and run install.php It's as easy as that, I installed around 3 phpBBs and they all run smood.

Are there any mods for phpBB, and where could I get them?

What I did.. well their config file is SO CONFUSING>

$url_phpbb = "/bb"; or path where it is. NO TRAILING SLASH.

(so http://www.chatrealm.com/bb/ = the board directory ) I think thats all I did

then I installed accordingly and it worked fine.

Whats the URL to your board? (or prospective board):)

Have you managed to put the content of all those files into one single one? :confused: :confused: :confused:
