Hi, just got the forum on my site and I'm excited... got the silver membership, I downloaded all of the plugins that I want. The questions is how to I upload all the plugins that i want?
Through my FTP in my wp content folder or through the basic plugins upload area on my wordpress blog?
Thanks!

For the first, initial install you will need to use an ftp client and upload them to the server (default folder being /wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/). After you unzip them of course! The WordPress installer does not support any other location than the WP plugins folder although we are hoping they may relent on that in the future.
After you have them in the right place then future updates will be delivered via the WordPress updater.
Hope that makes sense...

people do not have to register in order to post... well, at least you can set it up that way... or do you mean here?
who can do what on your forum is controlled by usergroups and permissions... please see our codex pages on that: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....ng-access/
sorry, what do you mean by 'retrieve those emails to market to'? are you talking about the emails sent our after a user registers? generally, its set out by WordPress... however, simple press does offer you a way to customize it... see forum - options - email settings if you have that enabled... if I missed your question, please restate with a bit more details...

Thanks PAPA.
What I mean is, how to I get users to register before they post? I think I can find this in the link you sent me. From your testing, see I have a free forum in order to build traffic to my site. Id it best to make a non register access or a register access?
Thank you

understand. and yes, the link will help. there is a page about guest posting or not.
basically, you assign a series of usergroups (collection of usergroups) and a permission sets to each forum... the user in that usergroup get those permissions on that forum... so for your example, you would say that guests cannot post...
have a read on those codex pages and come on back if still not clear...
