[cyianos]

Hello, Welcome to one of my first guides. In this guide you can make a website, and forums with out a lot of hassle! i will also teach you how to upgrade accounts add new sections, add news to the main page, and an easy to access ban list.

Starting out.
Website- UcoZ - unique site creation system - free site builder of new generation

Step 1- Read up, then press the Blue "sign up now!" button



Step 2- Sign up, remember to use a active email address!

Step 3- Check your email, and confirm it.

Step 4- log in, when you log in you will see a gray box with...



Put the name of your server here, then go to select design and select one from a huge list. (I used Design 601). After that press continue

Step 5- You will see a small checklist of additions to the website, check whichever ones you want and press continue



Step 6- You will see another gray box, keep the modules checked and make a password for your admin account that can access the forums (may wanna change the account name too. Under that part of the box you will see a FTP (file transfer protocol) password setup, make one



Step 7- Write down your information, I also suggest emailing this to yourself and keeping it saved. when your done, check the box at the bottom and press Finish initial setup

Congratulations! You now have a Easy to configure website and forums!

A. Configuring your Forums.
* First off, make sure you have confirmed your website before moving on. *

Step 1- click the forum button near the left corner of the screen, click it



Step 2- Click Manage forums and sections

Step 3- on the left side you will see a red X, delete the test forums, then when you have done that, click- Add new section.



*The sequence number is the order that you want this section of the forums to appear in* Keep adding until you have as many as you want.

Step 4- Right next to the section that you have added you will see Add forum in blue. click that.

Step 5- modify it to your liking, and be sure to modify the Forum entries, new threads, and replies (press ctrl and click after unchecking the box), be sure to set the sequence to your liking. press add when you are done



B. Creating/deleting new web polls.



Step 1- Go to polls management. Delete the old poll and go back.



Step 2- Create a new poll. Here you can create a poll with 15 possible choices, I suggest using Select (not multiple) when you are done creating the poll, press create new poll.

C. Editing the website news.



Step 1- click site news.



Step 2- Then click Add new entry. here you can make a realm connection guide or whatever you want.



Step 3- click add. now you have some text on the main page of your website!

Part 3- FaQs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. Uh-oh, I made a mistake how do i remove this website?
A. in the general section of your website manager, you should see a red X called account removal, put in your password and secret question to delete it

Q. Someone messed everything up! How do i fix it?
A. Before this happens to you, go to the general section of the website manager, you should see a small orage yellow called back up. click that, then use the dropdown menu select "select all" and press back-up. this should save you the hassle of remaking the WHOLE thing again.



There you have it, a very nice looking website/ forums for your private server!
