I'm assuming that you need a testing server to set up the forums, man this is going to be long work, updating to the server for every test.

Question, I haven't started on any  dynamic content for my site yet.  How much programming will a message board require? What about errors that turn up etc?

It shouldn't require any programming, at most setting up a couple of scripts with straightforward instructions. Have a look at the installation files and see what you think - the YaBB support forums should have answers already to any common issues.

When I upgraded my account, it came with a simple machines forum. I wouldn't mind using that, it's just that it's set index to the forum as opposed to the page that I want to use as index. I'm afraid if I change the name of the forum page it will mess everything up. I'm really in over my head with this.

Hang on, I think it worked. I think my problem is with the people who own the web server. I'll get back to this thread in a few days. I'm working on a mail to PHP form. It will take forever to get it working.

It looks good.  I added a link to it in the ASD Websites thread.
