I want to construct a forum and feel that I am going around in circles. I use a MacBook and I am eager to get it started.
I have been on the Heretix forum, but I haven't learned a thing about constructing one. Please help.

I have added you to the webmates group. That should make the Admin button appear in the navigation bar. Click on it and learn all the basic admin functions, then start with lesson number one. Contact me again if you have more questions and I'll assist you as much as I can. Good luck!

Thank you for your help. The forum is up, and I have fixed the name and have the crawl on the top.
I am in the process of mapping it.
My next question involves the look of the forum. How do I make it look a little nicer? It's not bad - I changed the color, but I would like to change it a bit.
BTW, thank you for your patience. I have never done anything like this.

You're very welcome! We all have to start somewhere. The key page is this: Admin/themes/advanced styles & CSS. Here, you can change all the settings for colours, styles and sizes. Also, Admin/themes/colors & theme creator is useful when you want to change the background and the banner. The rest is really a matter of plugins and coding in the layout templates. You can also search through the theme library for already made themes to copy and modify. So that you don't destroy anything vital, I recommend that you create a duplicate test forum for experiments, which you can afford to lose if you commit a fatal error. But remember, there is always the "restore to default settings" option!
