  Hey all,
  
  The new pnForum 2.0 release is getting rave reviews, but I can't seem to install it.
  
  With other modules I've just untared them in modules/ and then done the initialize and activate in Admin->Modules.
  
  How do I do this one?

  I have done the Initialize and Active for the pnForum module in Admin->Modules. The next step, according to the instructions is:
  
  "Then, do the same 'Initialize' and 'Activate' procedures with the pn_bbcode, pn_bbclick and pn_bbsmile modules."
  
  But I do not have these modules under Administration-> Modules.
  
  Are they someplace else???
  
  Thanks!!!

  Hi Skip, those modules should be showing up in your admin panel also so I suggest you make sure you've uploaded all the files into the directories. I know I had a problem with pn_bbsmile because I hadn't uploaded all the files but it still showed up in the admin panel. :) Good luck and let us know if you get it working.

  Well, I took the zip file (I'm on FreeBSD) to a windows machine and had someone unzip it for me and write it to a CD-R, so maybe I didn't get all the files. I'll check it again.

  The hooks are separate modules that you have to download from the same source as pnForum (sourceforge). They need be installed as a usual module.

  Hi Landseer,
  
  Thanks much for the help. You might mention that in the install document above where you say to activate them. Don't mean to nitpick, but it might be a helpful hint. I will say it's been a while since I've seen a module get the rave reviews pnForum is getting, so I'm chomping at the bit to see it on our site!
  
  I think I can say ahead of time, Great Work!

  Hello,
  
  Installing pnForums I got to these instructions:
  
  2.3.3. Go to PostNuke Administration panel.
  Select the pnForum link.
  Click on 'Sync forum/topic index'. This will sync the list of users in PostNuke and pnForum.
  Click on the 'Forum Wide Options' link .
  Click on 'Restore defaults'. This will set parameters for pnForum
  
  All went fine until the last step. After clicking the Forum Wide Options, I have
  no 'Restore defaults link.'

  Go to the forum wide options and you will find the "Restore defaults" on the bottom of th screen, nect to the Submit button.
  
  I will now close my support efforts for this year See you again in 2005!

  Got it. Phew! How did I miss that? {note to self: always scroll to bottom of screen when trying to locate a link}. Thanks tons Frank, sorry to be a doofus on this one. It looks very good and works very well.
