Use a text editor to modify your page. You will have to know some HTML to do that. Check Tutorials here on the Trap and w3schools.com for more information.To add a Forum, download the software and install it according the readme file or other instructions for the specific Forum package.Any questions, post back here and someone will guide you further.

Also, im not sure if its in the tutorials, but if you want a page to be displayed first (You do!), it must be called either "index.htm", "index.php", "index.html", "index.xml".... you get the idea! If you dont include a page called this when you visit your site you will see a list of files instead of a specific page.

Try the tutorials jlhaslip suggested (use google!) and if you find you dont like that format you can try http://www.tizag.com/beginnerT/ they also have a lot of tutorials and that one HTML. i find w3schools can be hard to understand, even though they do teach strict and propper code i find tizag to be easier to understand.

Tell me what you want on it, I will help you. If you want anything like graphic designs, I can't do that, Don't turn my offer down if you want a site exactly the way you want it to be, but the only things I can't do is memberships, but credit cards I'm sure I can look up. For buying stuff, or selling stuff, It's not that hard, so I can help you with anything almost.

Go into your "cpanel" click "File Manager" and you can change your site by changing the files in the "public_html" files directory.

What is the link to your Home page? You are not shown as Hosted status for the Xisto.com.

it was d2tah.trap17.net,and i had 11.60 hosting credits a hour ago and now i have 7...but anyway my site was up a day ago and...now its not

[jlhaslip 4]

A Moderator added some quote tags around a list of items in the Neopets posting. That would delete some credits from the total.I can't get to that site either. Is there a possibility that the account was set up under another sub-domain other than the one you are using? Maybe a typing error or something?Xisto.net accounts are freely available, so try to add another account using a different name for the sub-domain.In future, please post the Xisto.net questions in the appropriate Forum. We get confused if they are scattered all over the place. Thanks.

ya i edited my last post about ftp panel but ill try to remake i guess...is it just me or is Xisto.net down?

Well if you login to your cpanel and find the Fantastico Icon, there are so many scripts you can easily install to for your site. Find one with a forum function and config it how you like! Its that easy. If you need any assistance in installing or any other problems you may encounter, either me or post a topic on Xisto.Edit: Didn't see he was hosted by Xisto.net, but for those who are, use Fantastico for those excellent scripts.
