I was trying to follow the above instructions but as my phpMyAdmin is different and it would be the first time doing this I'm very nervous so wanted to double check!
OK I don't have a link to my database - I have this when I first log in.
The SQL query I want to do is INSERT INTO phpbb_config (config_name, config_value) VALUES ('bbcode_html_group', '-1');
so (not sure if this is right) I went to actual link which is down the left hand side
If I click on that I then get this -
(here's the bottom bit)
Apart from not knowing if this is where I should be entering the command there is already something written in the box - do I ignore that and put the command in after it?...do I delete what's already there?...or am I completely in the wrong place and thank goodness I asked first
The mod I'm trying to do is the one where it allows admin only to post in HTML - I want to do a clickable link to our contact details but without it actually showing our email addresses.

You are doing everything correctly so far. Just overwrite the SQL code that is in the window with your INSERT INTO query, then press the Go button at the bottom and the query will be applied to your phpbb_config table...
There is an alternative that you might want to consider. You can paste your query(s) in the following Window and create a file that you can upload and run from your browser. That way you wouldn't need to go into phpMyAdmin any longer...
After storing the php file on your PC, you would upload it to your forum root and run it in your browser. The path would look something like this if you named the file db_update.php:
