Enter forum's url address. Url must be global (not to a specific file) and without the ending slash.
For example: http://myforum.com or http://myforum.com/forum or http://forum.mysite.com and so on.

Give it a display name. Anything you want for you to recognize the forum.

Charset is for recieving and sending message in specific encoding, so that symbols could be interprated the right way.

For all english forums you can leave it as default 'UTF-8'.
For non-english the default sometimes works just fine, but usually you specify a custom charset.

You can probably google charsets which is recommended for any language.



The forum will appear on the right side in the forums list and you will be able to select your forum when adding a new topic in "My forums" drop-down box.

And You Are Done Adding a forum in a correct manner.
