Do I correctly understand that you want to make your own forum, meaning code it yourself? There are plenty of free forum scripts that you can use, for instance check this out: http://www.phpbb.com

so i have to upload all the files from the phpBB with the FTP Manager manually and one by one?
can't i use FileZilla or MS Frontpage?

PLEASE use FileZilla :) The File Manager is for single files only, not for uplaoding a forum like phpBB. Use FTP (your FTP settings can be seen/edited from the FTP Manager).

The FTP password can be re-set from the FTP Manager. Once you change your password you need to wait 10-15 minutes before it becomes operational.

oke thnx that was the trick

ok now i have all the file's according to the Flash tutorials (Installing phpBB) uploaded in a new map; 'Forum'. Then i have set the permission to 666 of the 'install.php'. so now i have to open 'http://www.jervan70.mybesthost.com/Forum/install/install.php' as it is put in that directory, but all i get is a blanc page. What am i doing wrong?
