    1) Firstly, download and install the nForum package from Umbraco. Make sure it's all running ok.

    2) Clone the source from Codeplex and open up the Solution. MAKING SURE you clone/download the correct version from the history page on Codeplex for the version of nForum you are running. i.e. Don't get the code for v1.7 if you are running v1.5 in the website. If will blow up if you do that.

    3) Once you have the solution open, right click on nForum.BusinessLogic project in VS and click properties. Go to Build Events tab. Change the XCOPY code to copy the DLL to the bin folder where you have the running forum (From step one)

    4) Right click on the 'nForum' project above the business logic. again go to Build Events and update the XCOPY locations for all lines to copy to the appropriate folder of your nForum website in step 1.

    Done.

    Now when you build the solution, it will copy all the files into your website. Now you can debug, make changes to nForum and use them in your website.
