If I am a normal internet user who has some webspace on my ISPs server, can a forum be set up on that webpage?
If I download the software what do I do with it? Obviously it can't run from my own computer because most of the time it is not 'online'. Therefore can the software be set up on the webpage space provided for me by my ISP?

As long as your ISP supports ASP, then you can run it from your webspace.

That is correct. As long as ASP runs on your space, you can run the forums.
Basically what you do to run it (this information is all in the readme.txt file BTW):
1) Load all the ASP and GIF files except for config.asp into a directory on your server
2) Load the database into a directory on your server (should be a different folder than the rest of your files). This directory needs to have read/write access on both the directory AND the database. 3) Change the config.asp to match the type of database you're running and the location of the database. 4) start to use the forum!!

This may sound a bit daft, but some people will follow your instructions, and won't be able to run the forum cos you didn't tell them to upload config.asp after editing it.
