Thanks Josh
Sorry not to get back to you earlier, Groupee would not let me log in!!!!. My isp gave me a more detailed path that worked. I got as far as table creation, I then tried to delete altertable, createtable.php and install.php. I could not find altertable scripts in my ubbthreads folder so I deleted install.php and createtable.php then clicked the link that says newuser script and got a blank screen.
So..... I'm moving further down the line - can you tell me what to do next?
Many thanks
