    I set up a second forum and need to get the ads running on phpbb.

    First, how do I get to the templates to modify them?
    second - I have my accound set up strictly under the subdomain of another forum (w w w.sportsoutlaw.com/forum). Will I need a second account? or just put the ads up and not worry about it?

    I dont have the account under my main domain because I never could get the ads running on the html pages. I plan on converting the site to php later, but that is for another discussion, another time.

    Have you already gone through the PHP setup instructions?

    Yes, my problem is, unlike Vb I dont know whee to find the templates in phpBB. Its easy in Vb, and it is probably easy in phpBB, but I am probably just over looking it. I have been all over the admin areas trying to find it.

    How do I get to:
    includes/page_tail.php
    and
    overall_footer.tpl
    ?

    phpbb templates are file, not stored in the database like vBulletin.

    go to the templates folder, pick your template, and you'll find them there. the includes/page_tail.php is obviously in the includes folder. ;)

    Blow the $85 and get vBulletin - why fool around with PHPbb?

    I know, that is the better choice. I started this forum though so I could check out just exactly what phpBB had to offer, while at the same time, providing a way to direct all the political talk away from my football forum.

    Now, I never did get any clarification if I had to create a new account since the accound I am registered at is www.sportsoutlaw.com/forum, and the ads I have just added are on www.sportsoutlaw.com/boards.

    Am I getting credit for these ads now? I think I am, but just want to be sure.
