I'm wondering about the website i'm making and was thinking of having a message board on it. I was thinking to use phpbb. So my questions are...

1) I only know a fair share of HTML. Do I need to know alot of it for the phpbb stuff?

2) If I need to learn Java Script (which i'm guessing i will) where can i find tutorials on it?

3) How Easy or Hard is it to set up the message board?

4) Do I need alot of webspace? And Bandwidth because i'm guessing my free account on Graffite.net might not be able to really handle it...

If I missed anything that would be important please tell me Thx .

I know so of these questions might sound a bit dumb ,but then again i'm not the smaterest person in the world (sees a outlet near his comp... What a pretty thing... i'll stick something shiney in it *takes out a metal fork* there we go *sticks it in* KZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ).

1. no
2. no
3. it installs itself, you just have to databases to load it into
4. depends on how popular you get


Really all you do is upload all the files they give you. Then you fill out the form for installation. Then it installs itself. And you are done.

The only time you have to do any more work is modding or installing new templates.

It's good to have a basic knowledge of php for modding

does that host provide u with php/mysql access? whats the b/w restriction or space restriction?

Well... the site is down I think because I can't get to it... any good web sites that offer good free accounts with a nice amount of bandwidth and stuff... for a pretty small message board (i don't plan on it getting to big).
