    Hello,
    I tried installing this plugin forumhttp://www.fahlstad.se/wp-plugins/wp-forum/
    but it is not working. I put the whole file under plugin but I dont get the instruction from here
    Installing
    Copy the content of the zip-file to wp-content/plugins, rename wpforum directory to wp-forum..
    Go and activate the plugin.
    Create a page from the Manage tab
    Click on the HTML button in Wordpress and then insert:
    <!–WPFORUM–>
    Go to manage->wp-forum and start adding groups and forums.
    You must then visit the WP-Forum options panel in WP admin.
    Setup a link to your forum (unless you have your pages auto-linking in the navagation menu)
    To show the latest acitvity in the sidebar add this code: <?php forum_latest_activity(numbers_to_show);?>
    where “numbers_to_show” is an actual number like 1,2.3…

    If you upgrade from version 1.4 to 1.6 you should add a row of code to index.php, not the theme file but the main WordPres file in your root.
    On line 1 add

    <?php setcookie('session', 's', 0, '/');?>
    This is so the forum can track visitors so it can present new posts since last visit for the registered user. If you don’t want this then just skip it.

    If you upload a new version go to plugin managment and deactivate and the activate WP-Forum.
    Visit the structure page of the wp-forum managment.
    Could anybody please help me

    I'm trying to get wp-forum to work also.

    My problem is that when I install it, and get to adding <!-WPFORUM-> into my post, wordpress constantly changes the tag to < !-... or <--!...

    Initially I wasn't able to view in HTML with the Wordpress tab. I tried to add a few editors to help, but TinyMCE wouldn't work and some other one isn't helping.

    Am I doing something stupid here?

    I've tried typing manually, and even using a new post editor I'm still unable to get the page to take to the code. I'd really like to get this forum working instead of simple forum which I'm using. Simple forum has a bunch of errors with mysql and is already bugging out on me.

    much appreciated guys.

    did you see my forum? check out my signature. I am having one problem thought and that is when you become a member and log in I get this error: Warning: date() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/itemhutc/public_html/g1tricks.com/main/wp-content/plugins/wp-forum/forum-functions.php on line 664

    Does anybody know how to fix this? I have tried and tried but can remove it. Has anybody ever have this problem?
