Need Some Help - PHPBB3

#1 Post by Hokahey » Tue Aug 02, 2011 6:32 pm

Anyone with knowledge of admining a PHPBB3 board? Things sure have changed since PHPBB2. I'm not sure how to create new categories for the various forum. For instance, I'd like to have these forums look like this:

On Topic

janes discussion
the market

Off Topic

general conversation
site updates


Can anyone help? All I can seem to figure out how to do is create sub forums within each regular forum. It's annoying as hell. I'm waiting to really set up the various forums until I can figure this out.

If you can type the initials, then there's really no problem, I think. (It took some effort to come up with a name that worked on a few levels... having two words was intentional, so it could be initialized. At least it's not MYXLPLXYX or whatever.)

We should have a contest for designing a replacement image for this: Image

I was thinking this: :sonny: + a stylized "ANR2.0" or something. :|

Good idea. But I may be building an actual site at some point, and we'll need the board to match. At least I'd like it to.

it looks like you made the same mistake i made. you have to be careful and not hit the edit key by accident. let the record show you edited someone's post the very first day. hear that mike.

i got that from an internet archive site. you could probably get a lot of your old site content from it.

You're Hype, from this day, until your last day. Just as I refused to call jssd anything but jssd, I refuse to call you anything but Hype.

Taste the whip. :whip:
