How to set-up forums for your website

Pick the forum that best suits you

phpBB
SMF

There are many more types of forums but those are the top 3 that I like to use depending on the type of site and look I want.
Download the package, and make sure its a stable package not a beta one.
Unzip the package and upload it to your site in a new directory called whatever you want (possible /forum/)
Once you have finished uploading it all, you should go to your favorite internet browser and go to where you forum is (example.com/forum/)
It should lead you to the installation part. These 3 forums come with explanations on what to fill out but I will have screenshots and a explanation from
my own head up here soon.

Questions are welcome.

Hope my small guide was somewhat of help, probably not yet, but should be alot better when I start updating it with new and useful information.
