I want to create my own web forum. I have registered my domain name, downloaded and uploaded phpBB, and experimented with different web hosts. At the start it looked easy, but its becoming more difficult than I was led to believe... Can a newbie do this? Perhaps there are pre-setup web forums available; ones I can free-load from or share?

What exactly are you finding difficult. Once phpBB is uploaded to your server it's fairly plain sailing from there.
http://www.phpbb.com/ has plenty of support information.
If you have a specific problem let me know and I'll see what I can do.

The problem I have is not being able to run the installer once it is uploaded. Some help sites seem to indicate I need a bunch of php software before it'll work. It is currently residing in a self proclaimed php-friendly server but to no avail...
But never mind all that because I've given up and found editboard.com, which seems like it should do the trick. Anyone have any qualms with editboard.com?

No worries.
In my case I had initial problems with trying to set up phpBB but they were all of my own making. Once I used a seperate ftp client instead of the Dreamweaver ftp it was all go.
Now my board is up and running it is time to start tweaking the appearance.
