This (http://www.mamboserver.com/) should be your first stop.

There's a mistake on the web links page http://37fw.scrapbook.me.uk/index.php?opti...temid=4&topid=1 (http://37fw.scrapbook.me.uk/index.php?option=weblinks&Itemid=4&topid=1).  I couldn't find the link to the Dead Men Walking Community anywhere  :(   Probably just a scripting error, but I'm sure you'll fix that real soon :)

not having used that particular package I'd have to read up about it.

the best way to learn is to download it, dump it onto a server and play around with it!

ok, I've just installed it on a test site.

admin pages here (http://www.this-sucks.co.uk/mambo/administrator/)

main site here (http://www.this-sucks.co.uk/mambo/)

admin login is admin admin

have a play around and see what you think.

That's my first play with Mambo and I liked it.  Very easy to use!  Didn't like th euploading of a small JPG or GIF though  :(

Bunce, just play with it - it is real easy to edit and change things.
