I would have a look at the hosting forum and see what they say.

Wait... I think I know why you cannot do that. SMF For Free might not allowed you to use package manager on their free hosting. So sorry for that. That is one of the weaknesses of using free hosting services.

However, they do note that they provide Built in Portal System, i.e. EzPortal. Do you see any panel for installing that in Admin Center?

Nice to hear a happy voice. I am sleepy too and will be out of here soon. Just use ezBlock Manager to add or remove block ok. Settings is to setup homepage and general ezPortal settings. So you are good yeah Bingham. Nite nite to you and others too.

Yes. There is. I overlooked that he is using SMF For Free hosting services that provide major mods together as part of their services.

RD we didn't want the lad to start panicking poor fella is totally new to all this.

We will point him in the direction of the support topics tomorrow.

Don't you remember what it was like when you first started?

AbuFahim, what's it? Your reply doesn't make sense.

Brack, no I was young when I started SMF but nit once did I ask for help. I registered in this community last year Sept. but I've used SMF for 2-3 years now. Not once have I asked for help in the beginning, I actually read the documantions and believe me, I was young then, very young. I learned through trial and error, I've read the docs but never really placed that knowldge to use.

I am giving OP a push to the right direction. No one will know smfforfree better then the smfsupport.com community.

The lads made a good start now.

You may be right RD. smfsupport.com may be better. But it is up to OP 'where' to ask for assistance. We never bind him here, or are we?

But basically "SMF" For Free is based on SMF and all its major mods. It is just limited in the sense of using package manager and certain other admin items. It don't need a master to know the easy function of SMF or its major mods used by SMF For Free. One who have use SMF via SMF For Free, like me and few others too  ;D, will know that functions and how to go about it. It is basically sharing knowledge and experience. Not about knowing the detail or in depth codings etc.. which IMHO is not mainly required (and mostly not allowed) if we are using SMF via SMF For Free.

I am afraid you cannot do that in SMF For Free hosting services. A better support for it is as stated by RoyalDuke.

Actually, this is what have been advised to you earlier that is the limitation of free hosting services. Basically, their TOS (in my own words) is you can have your forum but subject to their terms and conditions which are the limitation for you to further explore the indefinite possibilities of SMF. What you have now is a forum with major SMF mods that they are offering (basically all that are available in your forum Admin Center) and nothing more. Again, so sorry for not being able to help you on this matter. Better luck with the support as stated by RoyalDuke in the above post.

hmm okay i will go paid website seeing as i cant do what i want to do , i want to make it look proffesinal and smart and nice so i want to find a mazing server that i pay 4 pounds GBP a month or year or what ever.. what one?

Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail

You can find various useful information regarding paid hosting here: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=155.0

Find the best and nearest to you is most important (check your budget though).

rd

4/month is a good price, I recommend you look at the paid board.

Going paid will allow you to use SMF without any feature limits and I highly recommend you do.
