I just installed phpbb on my site, but it looks like some text isn't appearing, could you please have a look, and see if you have any ideas? forum thanks guys
will i have to go through the install process again? should i reupload the install and contrib directories that they tell you to delete after install? thanks guys EDIT: Found the problem. a faulty forum/language/lang_english/lang_main.php file. PROBLEM SOLVED
glad you got your problem solved, had you used a decent forum package, (SMF), you wouldn't of had those problems. its never too late to convert.
You can't exactly say it was because of non "decent forum package". It was more than likely an upload problem.
phpBB is a very good script if you KNOW how to manage it. if not, then there's not a script to keep you from problems Should you have issues from now on, let me know and I can offer some tips
