CPanel allows you to install
a pre-made forum called phpBB. The phpBB is a PHP web-based
bulletin board. Unlike an e-mail list or newsgroup, the
phpBB creates a forum on your web site that allows users
to post questions and receive replies, all from their web
browser. This allows you to choose from a variety of graphical
interfaces and smilies - little faces that communicate the
mood of the writer . Once a forum has been created you can
modify it extensively, from adding new sub-forums to changing
the visual appearance of the board. Be sure to visit the
phpBB web site - http://www.phpbb.com/ - for more
information on how to customize and use your phpBB
Note:
Keep in mind that each separate installation of
phpBB takes up several megabytes, and will grow in size
with the popularity of the forum.
To
install a phpBB forum:
-
Click on the Bulletin Board button on the home page.
-
Enter the name of the forum folder in the available field. Note that the folder must be on the top level of your site.
-
Click on the Install button.
