I just installed MyBB here:
http://knowledgeresearchforum.org

Everything seemed to go fine with the installation. But when I logged in as the admin and clicked Import Theme, it went to a page with this info:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /admin/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Um, check your CHMOD settings and make sure they're 755 or 777.
Or, read the sticky thread on this issue: http://community.mybboard.net/thread-42160.html
Ah, that sounds more likely. XD
I called HostGator and they had to replicate the problem (to make sure they weren't creating a security hole). Then they whitelisted the security mod (whatever that means).

Thanks!
