Hi,
I am assuming that to create a forum it would be programmed using php? I know how to get the user info from a database, and insert the information but don't know to start the next step. Some advice on this would be helpful even if it is just to tell me the correct language to use and some websites to help me.
Thanks,
Nightwalker
This sites offers a free web forum software. Try that one
Well, next would be the layout I suppose...
What structure should the forum have; how should posts come to look; user stats...
@ TheBigB
After that is done how I code it? That part confuses me is it html, php or something else?
Thanks, I'll look into it!Quote:

If you are referring to danasegarane's post I'm looking in to the MyBB forum setup.Quote:

Did they specify what the setting number is? (0777 ?)
666 I think but I'm only new to this. You can download the files from the link danasegarane posted.Quote:
