    For example, should I install my forum at:

    forum.mysite.com

    or

    mysite.com/forum

    I think it can be done either way as far as SEO is concerned. But subdomain looks more professiona IMO.

    I don't think the 2 actually have anything in common...

    mysite.com/forum only specifies a certain directory and the forum.mysite.com is just a subdomain which you can change it later... so you can set it so that the subdomain forum.mysite.com points to mysite.com/forum

    yes, i think that's it. if someone could clarify.
