Yes, but I've had trouble there.  One line replies with terms I don't get, followed by an hours wait for a reply to what does .... mean adds up to half an hours work taking a week.

Hi,
This looks like the thread for me.  Don't be downhearted.  I only found out what the Internet was 3 months ago, so they can all laugh at me instead.  I've now got my website up, want to put a forum on, but am having great problems with the vocabulary of this site.  Please, can anyone be bothered to go back to the beginning and tell me what a zipped file is, how you unzip it, at what point I have to put my forum kit 'behind my web' " (whatever that means) and how I go about setting up a database.......and how to tie my shoelaces.
PS I am serious
PPS Except about the shoelaces.
