im looking for a forum i can add to my website.
theres a lot where i need sign up and create a forum that way but the links to them are mega long...
I want something i can download and upload to my FTP server and create it that way, like wordpress.

Something like the OCUK forum but free and high customizable :D

Several to choose from the most popular are phpBB, SMF and MyBB.

I'd suggest you get each one, upload it to a different folder and have a play. They all have different features so see which suits you the best. Personally I use phpBB as it does what I need it to do.

I have set up a few PHPBB forums, and one word of advice - Set up the groups properly first, as it makes it much much easier in the long run!

why is it taking so long? who is your site hosted with? most web hosts have a section in the control panel where you can do an auto install of scripts such as phpbb

My site is for my local kart club, it is hosted by www.scottishkarting.co.uk, there site a home server. So i expect it to be slow:P
no cpanel or nothing :( but i do have a lot of bandwith and features.
