Answer» [size=14]Hi, I am fairly new to the website building industry and cannot figure out how to create my own forum with my own pictures, links and THREADS. I have read a little bit on how to do it, but it doesn't offer too much help. Can anyone please help me figure this out?
THANKS[/size]Just find a hosting service that provides a forum. For example, see http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/web-hosting-plans.html. A Message Board is available, even with the Starter plan which only costs $4/month. Once you open an account, you can easily install a forum from your web cPanel (CONTROL panel). You will need some time to learn how to use the forum admin panel to add forum sections, etc.Alternatively, if you want to learn how to create your own forum, first set aside at LEAST 4 months to learning PHP, then set aside at least 8 months to programming your forum.
Or use your current hosting, and download some forum software. Like the dreaded YaBB (which I happen to like) www.yabbforum.com (This is a YaBB forum) OR Vbullitine http://www.vbulletin.com/
