Hi, it's me again. Does anyone know how or where I can go about setting up a forum for my site? I know a lot of PTR's have them and there are some issues that I would really like members' feedback on. I am finding that with 700+ members and growing, asking them all to email me with their opinion isn't always a good idea. tongue.gif

Look in your cpanel. Somtime's they are included with your hosting and are very easy to add. It is usally under fantastico or something like that.

You can also go to:
http://www.phpBB.com/ --> I use it, very easy to use and install
http://www.invisionboard.com/ -->Used at this forum
http://www.yabbforum.com/ -->Written in CGI
http://www.yabbse.org/ -->PHP-version of YABB

My personal favorite free forum script is phpBB, but you'll need to have mySQL on your server to run it, and if you're not familiar with the database structure of your server, you'll want to have a MySQL administration console... it makes it a lot easier to manage your databases (free as well, but your webhost may charge for that service).
If you haven't got much time, and want to see what the new phpbb3 can offer, just try it out on this host : free forums

Hope this can help!
