How to setup Forum

I have a website www.Top1Deals.com. I have no idea, how to setup forum.
could you pls give me any ideas...



Thanks,
www.top1deals.com

Download a forum (for example, http://www.phpbb.com/), extract it, and run the installation script.

thanks, how to change the url name to

www.top1deals.com/forums/index.htm or php

and also putting logo etc...

Read the manual, it's interesting and informative.

Don't rename it to .htm, that just confuses matters. Just link to www.top1deals.com/forums if need be.

You also need to sort out permissions so you don't need just idle threats to stop users creating threads in the wrong place.

Is there anyway to setup URL links (Insert URL Links)..

Like Top1Deals

Where?

In the Forum section, While Posting the thread.

This form When we enter new/reply post, If we want to enter the link/s then we can click here Insert Hyperlink (In this forum) but My forum is showing URL button, its not taking.

Ex: if we want to open some sites like : w.sitename. /somename/etc....

instead of this we can enter like somename

Top1deals

Ever heard of the "URL" button? Or the manual for that matter?

/notes down on the list of sites never to purchase from

If the "URL" button doesn't work, you most likely have broken it somehow (possibly by a script in the header?). Try reinstalling stock phpBB and trying again, if you don't know what it could have been.

URL links are working but if we want to enter new url link we have to enter [url = .etccc....] name [/url]

Yes, this is correct behaviour.

Can we upload Attachments on the forum?

How to setup this option in phpbb forum?

Thx

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Yes, but you need to have about an hour spare and very good eyesight along with a competent knowledge of PHP and modifying PHPBB files.
