I just bought a domain, and Im not really familiar with php, but I am with HTML. I was looking to make a forum on my site, but Im not sure how to do that. Anyone have any advice? Or know any programmers that would be willing to help?
Or maybe you can REDIRECT me to a site that has the codes to make a forum? D: You will need to download and INSTALL a forum on your site.
Examples are SMF, phpBB, vBulletin (not free), yaBB, and many more.
This forum uses SMF, and I must say I find it easy to use.
once you download a forum there will be a readme or help file included, that will EXPLAIN exactly how to install the forum and configure it.
Hope this helps.Thanks! It helped a lot You're welcome.

That means I need to enter the acutal name of my site?It sounds like you need to enter the directory to install the forum.
For example: yoursite.com/forum (where yoursite.com is your domain, and forum is the directory you want to install the forum to).
The name "forum" is the most commonly used.Yea, I did what you said, and I got something totally different D: I think Im just going to give up. Quote from: TomIsCool on December 04, 2007, 01:30:36 PM
