so i have a couple of questions please

1 will this work with my forum www.marine-keepers.com/forum/
  (please take a look) as its four months old and getting 30.000 hits a week now so really dont wont to loose all the hard work

2 how do i instal it to work with it

3 are all the pages dummy proof ie can i put forinstance on the home page simple image to entice new members .then say docs on this one put my banner adds

4 most impportent i think i had to revert back to default forum as dibler couldnt do the addsmod  would this still work with mods

sorry for the questions but i dont want to reclessly destroy three months work

almost lost it all when i swapped to a vps last month

Well to answer a few of your questions yes it will work with your forum.   I would not say it is completly dummy proof but I find it very easy to use.   Most everything you will do with it can be done through the admin panel.  I would suggest taking a read through the installation topics and the docs section to read up before doing a install.  I see you are using the default theme which is the theme you need to use when installing this mod as with all mods.  Most cases installing is just a matter of uploading and pressing apply.  But if for some reason you run into trouble you will find there are lots of people that will help around here.   Hope this helps.
