Bulletin Board
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.
