Hi there,
I have been waiting for my webhost over at hostgator to get back to me, but I thought I would post my question here in the meantime. I just transferred my website www.hookedonroleplaying to hostgator, and need to know how to install mybb onto my site. Can I just install it directly? Do I need to install a blogging platform like wordpress first? I'm very lost and confused and not very good when it comes to this sort of thing lol.
Basically, I use phpmyadmin if that makes a difference.
If someone could be so kind as to help me with the installation process, I would be eternally grateful. I am anxious to get my website back up and running, and Mybb has all the plugins I need for a top notch roleplay site. I am willing to give a mybb site admin or support staff member my hostgator login information to help me install the software if needed.
I will be on an off all evening, but you can also reach me by email at bethmasarik [at] gmail [dot] com (replace the words at and dot with their symbols). If you email me directly, please use a subject line similar to something like MyBB support or something like that.
Thank you for your help! I opened my support ticket with hostgator early yesterday morning and they are usually quick with getting back to me, but I guess they must be short staffed this weekend. Was hoping to at least get the software installed onto my website before I go into work tomorrow if possible.
Thanks.

. I figured out how to install it from hostgator. However, the version they have is outdated. How do I go about with updating to the newest version? All the plugins I want seem to be 1.8 compatible. I've already downloaded the file. Just need to know where to go to upload it to my forum on
