YAFLogo

Hi, I'm new to YAF.net. I'm installing YAF into our website hosted by GoDaddy. I'm following the instructions here: https://github.com/YAFNET/YAFNET/wiki/Installation where it says: "STEP 1. UNZIP The first step after downloading is to Unzip YAF.NET and copy the content to the physical location where the Application (YAF) will be run from." But when I go to the "Downloads" page (http://www.yetanotherforum.net/download) I am confronted with a choice of several versions of YAF... Under the first section "YAF.NET v2.2.2" I chose "Source Package" as I want to be able to edit the asp.net files eventually to customise the forum. I'm busy uploading the contents to our website hosting area by FTP, however straight away I noticed that this downloaded zip looks more like a visual studio project than a website. For example there is a *.sln file, but no index.* file. How to proceed?

Ok, so I also uploaded the files in the "Install Package" group (also under the first section "YAF.NET v2.2.2" on the Downloads page). On inspection these appear to be more like a website, with a "default.aspx" in the root folder. So I uploaded them by FTP and I'm getting further now... Please change the documentation. I wasted >1 hour on this :)

Thanks buddy. By the way after I posted this I realised you are on your own maintaining this project, so well done and thanks, and sorry if I was a bit harsh on you :)
