how exactly? Im not used to doing this so i suck at this stuff real bad.
You need to use an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program to upload all the MyBB files onto your webhost.
Examples are:
FlashFXP -
http://www.flashfxp.com/
LeechFTP -
http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~jdebis/leec...loads.html
SmartFTP -
http://www.smartftp.com/
You will need from your webhost, a hostname to your FTP account, your username and password to logon to your FTP server.
Depending on the FTP client, you have to find/choose the MyBB files and then drag them a folder on the server which will initiate the transfer of the files on your computer to the files on your server. Make sure you know where you're uploading your files to because you have to run the install script from your browser. You can follow the installation guide in the "docs" directory of the MyBB download.

so all i need is like a webpage and attatch that onto it or something?
do you have a server with php or mySQL on it?
make a mysql database then make a username and add him to the data base . then use a ftp with the info the provider gave . then upload the files to the /forum folder or name it as u want (dont put in public_html) if u have a site there but make a folder and put the files. then
www.site.com/forum/install and u are readt
uhh would this site work?
Linkage probabally not
but im seeing if anything for free would work.
