It's been a long time since I've played with phpBB but I remember it being very easy to use and customize.

If I were you I'd just jump in and get it installed.
Get the latest version.

There are TONS of great tutorials/how-to articles on the net about installing and using phpBB but I'd certainly start here:

Check out the functional and cosmetic add-ons you can get here

thanks


but there are 2 version for download phpBB 3.0 & phpBB 2.0

which to go for???

unstable release or stable release......

I'd go stable.
I'd rather have fewer headaches and stability than a few cool features and have to spend a lot of time with it.

Eventually they'll probably have some sort of upgrade available I would assume.

... ONE CATCH TO THE ABOVE...

If the 3.0 is largely updates in security... then you may want to just wait until it's stable. Security updates are important.

me have install forum at ...
