The bulletin board section allows users to set up a bulletin board without dealing with the hassle of actually uploading and configuring all the files need to run a bulletin board system. Only a few options need to be selected. A bulletin board may be setup within minutes.

To set up a new bulletin board, from your control panel click on the Bulletin Board icon

On the phpBB Screen in the “New Installation” section, enter the following information:
Admin User: This will be the administrator’s user name
Admin Pass: This will be the administrator’s password.
Install at this url: http://yourdomain.com/BB
This will be the location of the new board. This has to be a new location, meaning the folder cannot already exist.

Once a new board has been installed, you will be able to come back to this section later on and install a new board in a different location, upgrade an existing board or uninstall a board that has already been installed.

To upgrade a bulletin board, choose the folder name or board that needs to be upgraded and click the upgrade button.

To remove a bulletin board, select the board that needs to be removed and then click on remove, this will delete the entire folder and all its contents.
