How to best get started with phpBB
![Post Post](./styles/revolution/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
I've been doing some digging into phpBBbut I still have some questions. I am ready to start a forum using phpBB. I checked out Hostgator (thanks for the info, Lynn) and see that they have php. Does that mean they have pbpBB there already? Or do I upload it and configure it? It also appears to be UNIX based. Is that true?
I haven't gotten through all the info on the phpBB website yet, but is it the best place to learn how to customize it? I've seen too many forums that look virtually identical. Lynn, you've done a fantastic job with this forum! It's one of the best looking and best structured I've seen. Any suggestions on how best to learn how to do it?
If I have a UNIX box here, can I install it locally to do the customizations and learn the ins-and-outs of the program before uploading?
Thanks,
Bob
