If you check mods (modifications) section in phpbb site - http://www.phpbb.com/mods/ - you'll get your answer easily. You should read their FAQ - http://www.phpbb.com/mods/faq.php - to get a general idea of what you'll be working with.

another good resource is - http://www.phpbbhacks.com/ - which has plenty of hacks to modify your forum!-

He wants to install modifications (also known as hacks) to his phpbb forum. Some common ones you may have seen are like the shop hack...Where you get points for posting and you can buy little things in the shop with them.

They can also be used for adding little features in here and there..... I would definatly agree with what ket said, thats good info....

    is a package manager, you click install, and it installs the mods on the forum. However, sometimes
    it gives you a link, to download the mod. So yeah I download it, and it appears on my desktop as a
    bunch of icons that only make a million tabs appear when opened. I was wondering where in the world
    am I supposed to put these mods so that they will work? I have tried some things but they did

    fresh installs, you should download one of the "install" packages as these contain all the files
    needed to get up and running. We suggest you download the zip option as this is most common and
