Awesome! Mods are pretty easy.

First of all you should read this article on How to install mods

The time it takes to install a mod varies depending on the size of the mod. Some mods only requrie you to edit one php file, others maybe 20 php files.

Good luck and let me know if you run into any problems.

I think it took me half an hour to install the attachment mod once. It took me something like 5 minutes to install the quick reply mod. It varies.

It doesn't matter where they are saved on your computer. Somewhere you will remember.

I generally download them inyo a folder named MODS in the same folder as the phpBB files. That was it is easly found by myself.
