Installation Steps:

1 Unzip using Winzip or similar.

2. Copy all the unzipped files to your web server. Please note that some web space providers only allow databases and asp files in certain folders. For example, ewebcity.com insist that you use the db folder. You must check your provider's documentation to ensure that you locate your files in appropriate folder. If you try to use the forum and you get an error something like "driver operation must use an updateable query" this means that you have put the files in a folder that does not allow databases.

3. Edit 'basics.inc' (basic forum features) and db.inc (to specify different database location, if required. Edit password.asp in order to change the password.

4. The software should now work. In your browser, open the web-page http://...../.../index.asp

5. To delete messages, first login at login.asp

Please keep the link to Ourline Forums. Let me know where and how you use the software. I generally do not offer support. The most common problem however (99% of all queries) relates to the updateable query error reported, with solution, in step 1.
