I am basically JUST starting question on downloads and gallery?

I guess kind of fell into the right place for making a forum here, with MSN announcing they were closing groups... I had been looking around for a backup forum and now here I am. My question is I noticed announcements for downloads when I was trying to start the forum and then things all fell in place. Then as I am showing others how to find how to start a forum, I am having a devil of a problem trying to find the link to start a basic forum,  :idiot2: I keep coming to this page http://www.simplemachines.org/ which makes me wonder what there is to download, do I need to download etc :uglystupid2: When I am tired from work isnt the best time to pose these questions but... know will have more when it comes to making a web page for our home as it is so different from msn.

Do I need to download anything? I am trying to muddle through css coding which is greek to me so to speak,but want to make sure I am starting on the right foot. What are Gallerys? We are in the process of uploading pictures to our new photobucket albums, for hosts and in general, would love if we could have our Rainbow Bridge album within our forum. Rainbow bridge is an idea of where your family pets go when they die, to wait for when you join them. the album would be to let members save pics of their kitties pups birds and whatever in memory. On msn we also had an album for members we lost some too early, whom were sick, the concept is important to our group and hope I can get some good answers as to what the gallery is, and how to use it for signitures.

Your first question I am not totally sure what you are wanting to know.  I know that you DO have a forum hosted with this service and you shouldnt be getting a notice about downloads, nor be directed to simplemachines.org.    If you are also setting up a self hosted forum  (besides your forum with us) you'll need to get help with that one thru simplemachines.org's community forum - we do not do support for that.

Click on the Gallery Link at the top of the Support Forum here and you'll see the Gallery.
You can set one up on your own forum  (Admin > Gallery)    You can create Categorys, sub categorys, and set permissions for the groups you want to be able to access each category.

Here is the Guide for the Gallery:  Gallery Guide

TY Sibyl as always answered exactly what I wanted to know.  No I dont think I want another forum, just dont want to lose my forum for not registering how and where I was supposed to.

With dialup, self hosted??? going to look at the guide to setting up gallery for dummies now :coolsmiley:LOL again ty.
