<HTML>Config Suffix - This is used to allow seperate header, footer, censor and bad* files. Simply fill in 'Config Suffix' when creating your forums with a string and then create files named header_suffix.inc where suffix is the string you gave the admin when creating the forum.
Table Name- This is the table name that will store the messages for this forum. This is a required field, and if it is a new table, it must not collide with any existing table names.
Table already exists - Check this if the table name already exists for this forum. This allows you to have the same Phorum messages with two different environments (language, colors, header and footer).</HTML>

OK Brian- lets expand on this a little.
Config Suffix - This is used to allow seperate header, footer, censor and bad* files. Simply fill in 'Config Suffix' when creating your forums with a string and then create files named header_suffix.inc where suffix is the string you gave the admin when creating the forum.
(SP)--- Is the config suffix required to be
filled in with specific info in order for
the new forum to work or is it merely optional in case you want a different header
and footer? ie, if nothing fancy is desired then can it be left blank ?
Table Name- This is the table name that will store the messages for this forum. This is a required field, and if it is a new table, it must not collide with any existing table names.
(SP)--- If this is a required field, then
must the system manager have already created
the table of the same name for the forum using MYSQL or some other tool?
Could this fill-in-the-blank section be made to do an autodetect and create the new table automatically to match the table name entered?
Table already exists - Check this if the table name already exists for this forum. This allows you to have the same Phorum messages with two different environments (language, colors, header and footer).
(SP)--- I can see if the table already
exists there is an implication that filling
in the previous blank might create the table? ? ? So that is what is confusing.
It would appear that if you check "Table-Exists" that the table does not
need to be created. ? ? ?
Please expand on what you mean with the next
statement "This allows same Phorum messages with two different environments
(SP)--- messages where? Two different folders ? or forums ?
I have bought some new webspace and had the
host provider install Phorum for me but now with admin privileges , I am trying to create and set up the folders and forums I want to use. That is the reason for my
asking. If you can make this clear for
me then it will be suitable for the manual.
Thanks.

it could be left blank but for later use it should be filled.

The required tables will be created with the name you provide here
by phorum if you uncheck "table exists".
You don't have to create a table by hand if you are running phorum.

This option is only if the tables really already exists, see below.

You can have two different phorums which use the same database-table so that the same messages are visible in two different forums.
For each forum you can define which colors or language to use, so you can have two different forums with different languages and/or colors.</HTML>
