Simple Machines Forum Demo

Simple Machines Forum is a free forum software.  I have seen it used quite a few times by different marketers.  It is quite easy to install and do basic setup.

The one problem I found…which seems to be the case for a lot of free products…is that their “getting started” information is minimal at best.  They have no step by step instructions.

So, I have created 2 videos.  One is for installation and one is how to set up the structure of the forum.  I learned how to do this by poking around and seeing what works.  Very time-consuming.

These will get you started if you want to try out this software.  Get a forum set up and then you can look around and see if it will suit your needs.  If I have time I will create some more videos but no promises.

I am told that the software can be installed using Fantastico, but I have not tried it.

The first video shows how to install the software using their installer:
