when you downloaded the archives, extract them on your computer…   you should have a simple-forum folder with other folders within it…   just upload that simple-forum dir and contents to the plugins dir on your server and you should be good to go…

Do I upload them in "install plug-in" in WP? I am sorry for asking such simple questions but I just need to be sure that I am doing this right

No, use an ftp client to upload to your server…

so please explain what you did…  after grabbing the download pack (was it styles, skins or icons?) and extracting, did you have simple-forum directory on your compuer? and did you upload that directory and all its contents to the wp-content/plugins directory?

and are you logging in at http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php or other?  obviously, replace the yoursite.com with your domain…

I uploaded all the contents to wp content from my comp after extracting from the download. I then followed the instructions to make sure in the forum configuratuion that the smileys, avatas were all ok.  I think that I may have accidently moved the index.php file on my server to a different folder by accident. Could this be the problem? Where should the index.php file be?

first, as mentioned, the simple-forum for upload goes in the plugins folder – not wp-content…

depends… there is likely an index.php in many dirs… but yes, there should be an index.php in the base directory… you may also have an empty index.php in your wp-content folder and the plugins folder
