I'm considering making a message board on the aforementioned website, and I have a few questions about it:

1: Whats my e-Mail address for?
2: How do I assign admins and/or mods?
3: Do I need html skills?

This question really should be posted over there (excoboards). Personally, I have never dealt with their website. So, I have no idea.

If anyone has used it, maybe they can provide some insight. But you really should be asking them (as in the excoboards admins).

the email is so that any important notices come up you will be notified. No spam is sent. Admins/mods are assigned in the control panel under user admin. No html needed

Things like changes in the board's system or set up, and you only need the URL of a pic to put it at top or bottom. BUT if youre looking for some real quality, i suggest http://www.phpbbforfree.com much better than exco!

Does phpbb require more skill?

Bullcrap! Phpbbforfree plasters your site with ads and such crap!
I think the control panel iin Excoboard is better, I also thought that the exco example(HMB) was much better than the phpbbforfree!

When I visit certain Proboards - including the support board - in FFX, there's no new topic/reply to topic buttons...

What do you mean?
Your not an mod!
Also, I also had admin panel problems on phpbbforfree, thats why I switched to Excoboard! PLUS You can make unlimited forums on Excoboard, but sure can't on Phpbbforfree!

Sorry to bump this, but I needed help. I wanted to pitch the idea of a forum at my school website, and obviously I want to use phpbbforfree. However... how do you attach a phpbbforfree forum to a website? All I could find were just ways to make forums that aren't connected to anything. Help!

I think Jesty means to put a link to the forum on the site. That's what I'd do, anyway.
