When you install phpBB, it gives you the option of changing the prefix of the tables which it uses.  The default is phpbb_, however you can change it if you have multiple installs of phpBB using the same database.  If you kept the default phpbb_, then you don't need to change anything, but if you changed it, then you need to change

ALTER TABLE phpbb_forums ADD forum_postcount TINYINT( 1 ) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL;to ALTER TABLE _forums ADD forum_postcount TINYINT( 1 ) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL;where  is the prefix which you used when installing the database.

Chances are pretty good that you don't need to change that line.

It is also telling you to run that SQL command.

You can use a program like    Mysql-Front to do this, or PHPMyAdmin if you have that installed.

Greetings,

Many of simple mods you can use EasyMOD. I do not recommend using it, but, many of people do. :wink:
