hi

about your queston 2) Do you have previous knowledge in designing?

if not what should I know more than this
For your first question:
after you install a fresh mybb copy on server (via FTP) you must to make this changes:
CHMOD to 777 for:
/inc/settings.php
/inc/config.php
/uploads/
/uploads/avatars/
After this, input in your browser this address http://yourforum.com/install/ and follow instructions step by step.
When you made all steps, you must to delete /install/ dir from forum root (via FTP).

Setting files to 777 will provide read/write/execute access to any user of the server, which may be a security risk, but provides the least troublesome install and operation. You can usually give 666 access to files.
//Edited: But keep 777 access for /uploads/ and /uploads/avatars dir.
For your second question, I suggest to read this first: http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/Admin...me_Manager
After that, you try AdminCP --> Modify/Delete templates (expand) --> click on EDIT
There is the templates of your forum's.
