How exactly do you set up a MyBB forum? When I downloaded it, all there were were a bunch of files. Do I have to compile them all or something? Thanks for your time.
Nope. You have to upload them to your server, CHMOD inc/settings.php and inc/config.php to 666 or 777, and go to your forums, appeding /install/ to the url, eg: http://www.domain.com/forum/install/
If you dont have a server you can pick one up here: http://www.ivolvehost.com/ for only 10 posts at the forum.
