Lightbulb Re: i would like to start a forum

Installing a forum via Fantastico! does not require an additional domain name, as a new directory is automatically created for the forum to be installed into, should you elect.

The little box at the top of the New Installation page asks for a Directory to be named, and you can name it whatever you want (as long as it is all lower case and without spaces, for this will eventually become a link device also). For instance ... you can enter "community" and your forum will automatically install itself in that Directory after automatically creating it for you, and the link you will use to access it (and the one you will enter on your site for visitors to find it) will look like www.islandgreeneast.info/community/

This auto-creation of a directory coupled with easy Fantastico! installation is a no-brainer combination to get a forum up and running almost instantly!

Good Luck!
