Before you start

I have three domains, and I wish to go down the multi site route.

My questions.

1- Would this mean these domains and the site will be independent in everywhere as any other site?
2- Do I have to use Addon Domains to make them work?
3- Having three domains running as three independent sites on one hosting account, what would my host say about this? That’s three site for the price of 1!!

Basically I initially (before knowing anything about multi-site) I wanted to have three individual websites, all three running on drupal, on three different hosts.

I'm talking about Multi-site.

But for now I am just installing a standard one-sited drupal today, so can I worry about adding another site to my current site next month, or I’ll either have to install a multi-site now or there is no way to add sites in the future?

So can sites be added or omitted to existing sites with ease and flexibility to create ‘multi sites’, or it’s necessary to set up the instillation as multi sites from the get go?

Considering Drupal for our website ... problem is I have a diverse customer base. What I want to do is from my home page have the user select their "core" interest ... from there i can view FORUMS specific for their interest and NEWS specific to their interest. I would like an option so they can see ALL FORUMS and ALL NEWS ...

say do a call like:
news=1 ... would bring up ROAD specific news
news=2 ... would bring up MOUNTAIN specific news
news=all ... would bring up ALL news

Sorry, I’m just a bit excited about the prospect of running my own drupal site.

There’s just a tiny obstacle between drupal and I, I'm a total novice and would probably need pictures and diagrams to help me install it. Ok not pictures, but I’m a beginner, so please point me in the right direction, the easier and simpler the instruction the better, :D

I rather install it manually than use fantastico to automatically install it since my fantastico has the old version and it’s not updated.

Ofcourse that would mean more work for me, but I’ll try my best.

Greetings,

I have installed quicktags module.
It works but it spoils all text areas it is attached to. Text area turns into 1 line text field with very small text inside.

I'm using Drupal 4.7.2 and BBCode_WYSIWYG 4.7.0, FireFox browser.

What may be the problem ?

Thanks.

Greetings,

I have installed bbcode module and BBCode_WYSIWYG module.
It looks like BBCode_WYSIWYG doesn't work - nothing happens when I press its buttons as well as quote link.
