[quote user="Predator65" post="52541"]:evil: ok now im losing the will to live
I tried and failed to install a favicon to the board (the most simple of operations to carry out) even a disabled mushroom could complete this task  :P  not Pred[/quote]

Put a favicon [b][i](It must be a favicon.ico)[/i][/b] in the root of your forum and paste this in the header BEFORE the </head>

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

Then you have to clear all history from FF and clear cache and cookies with IE. And of course - Your Forum cache.

C) I dont care if its PHPBB3 or Icypheonix as long as the mods I want to use are [b]user friendly to ME[/b] :cry:

That's not quite how it works, as installing just one MOD can make changes so that the next MOD may not install! :(

There are also updated core and template files in the latest version, and if the MOD version is not suitable for the latest version of phpBB - Then it usually isn't going to install because of that. :(

You have to learn to read the xml instructions and compare the strings with the core files and which parts won't install - Then you need to edit the xml file and NOT the core and template files so that the mod will install and uninstall automatically in future.

You will also need to keep a list of the Order you installed them in, particularly if you make edits to different mods as you go.

You also need to make sure that you [b][u]DO[/u][/b] know what you are doing when you make edits.  :mryellow: 

You also should be asking your questions at phpBB.com where "other" people have the same problems, and half of them may have been solved

Other than that, you need to use something like MyBB that has a Plug-In system.

:P
