So you're browsing among the forums, and none of the choices appeal to you? Not a problem! You are free to make your own forums here on www.terulia.com!
It's an easy process!

STEP ONE:
After registering and logging in, you will see in the upper right hand corner of your screen "Create New Forum". Click it!

STEP TWO:
The forums will ask you for you to put in a name for the forum, what the domain for the forums will be (anything is fine, just keep it short and simple for folks to join up!) A description is optional, but can further enhance your ability to tell others just what kind of forum you're making! After filling these in, just click the "Create Forum" button, and you've got yourself a forum!


STEP THREE:
Congratulations! You have your very own forum to call your own! Now it's time to set it up. Click the forum name on the window that appears to bring up the forum!


STEP FOUR:
After selecting your forum, the following will appear up top. If you click "Forum CP", you can start editing your forum as you see fit!


STEP FIVE:
But wait! There are no categories for you to place a forum! Not a problem, they're simple to add! Click the "New Category" section of the Forum CP, on the left hand side, and you will be able to describe a new category courtesy of the dialogue box to the right. Just fill those blanks in and hit the Create button, and your work is nearly done!


STEP SIX:
Now the final step is but a trivial one, my forum-making friend! Just click the "New Subforum" link on the left hand side of your screen, and a new section will appear in the right hand section. Just describe your forum, and link up the subforum to the category you want it to go under. Feel free to add a description!


Congratulations! Your new forum is ready to go! Just link your friends to it and they can start posting! If you wish to do further modifications to the forum, feel free to poke about in the Forum CP. The "Configuration" link on the left hand side will allow further customization to your forum, allowing you to make it be private to those who you allow in, block those who aren't members, or even allow you to embed Youtube videos!

The Blacklist option allows you to set users who are blocked out of your forums! Quite handy to remove troublemakers.
Whitelist allows you to set certain people to be instantly accepted to your forum, with certain privledges that YOU grant them!
