Could we please have a tutorial of how to install the new forum. I could figure it out but anything that makes life simpler is always a bonus.

Step 1

Go to all of these pages and copy their source code into identically-named pages on your own site.

Step 2

Add this code where you want your forum to begin (on an existing or new page) :

[[include section:_start]]

[/section:_admin Click here to add more sections]

Step 3

Go to your section:_admin page and find this code:

[[module NewPage category="section" parent="main:start" button="Ok" size="60"]]

Replace the part that says parent="main:start" so that it matches the page name that you added the code to in Step 2.

Step 4

Add this code to your CSS (for the include:scrollbar to work properly)

/*  Pop-up hover text over images or links  */
/*  Use: [[span class="hover"]]Image or link[[span]]Hover text[[/span]][[/span]] */
 
.hover span {
    display: none;
}
.hover:hover span {
    position: absolute;
    display: inline;
    margin: 15px -20px;
    height: auto;
    width: auto;
    background: #eee;
    border: 1px solid #555;
    color: #555;
    padding: 1em;
    font-size: 12px;
}
.hover:hover span span {
    position: relative;
    margin: auto;
    height: auto;
    width: auto;
    border: none;
    padding: 0;
}
