Dark_Matter Posted January 17, 2006 CID Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well here is a list of popular mesage boards you can use: http://www.simplemachines.org/ http://www.phpbb.com/ http://www.invisionpower.com/ip.dynamic/products/board/index.html Those are just a few you can use phpbb and simple machines are free. I believe invision power board is pay. Just pick a forum, and intergrate it into you site layout. testmy.net uses simple machines forum as do i. (IMO) simple machines is the best free forum. Make sure you have php support, and a mysql or some type of sql database setup for your forum as almost all major forums use sql to store, and save data/user forum info. I believe there are a few forums that actually use a flat based txt file ect for storing data, but i would stay away from that. If you have anymore questions ect just ask.
