You need to know the name of your mySQL database and your UN/pass for the database. Dhost isn't exactly good for forums though- lots of timeouts because the server's REALLY slow.

Uh huh.

You're better off getting a host with decent speed and cPanel.

yup, what they all said...

but if you must continue, you'll need to create (or have your host create) a MySQL database with your username, password and database name (or have him send you that info..) then you enter that into that install form.. and continue on.. it will check the db and pre-populate it, and continue with the board setup.

Try both of them, i believe pokemon706_Jeremy would be correct. That is, if your username for your website is pokemon706 :) Just try it. If it gives you an error, it won't kill anything.

I could help you. ^_^ I am a big webmaster builder myself. Im me on aim -- my sn is sonicaki1 :) I hope this helps. :D
