1. Please post a link to your forum so we can take a look.

2. No styling usually means the path to the stylesheet is wrong. You can look in the source of the HTML to see that.

3. Redirecting is probably because you have true or slugs for your permalinks setting, but you haven’t set up permalinks yet. You can set the permalinks to false to get the forum working right now, then take the next step and make permalinks work.
