Where Can I Find A Free Forum?

[Boojum]

I'd like to add a forum to my site, but have a few requirements:

 

1) It needs to be free.

 

2) It should preferably be similar to the TCH forum in general design, but customizable.

 

3) It should be easy to add and maintain.

 

Now: Is there any such animal?

This is Invision and it is in your cPanel along with PHPBB I believe. Both are free and both can be customized to ones liking with not too much work.

[Boojum]

Thanks, Rob. I'll look into that at my next opportunity—probably this evening.

I'm quite familiar with phpBB. It's nice, I'd suggest it.

[Boojum]

Hmm.

 

Invision or phpBB?

 

Sounds like time for ... a poll.

 

[Cue dramatic music.]

The best thing to do is go to Hot Scripts

and navigate to the PHP category and the Discussion Board sub category.

There are a hundred or so discussion boards for your like.

 

As always if you need help feel free to shout...

EnS, you can install Invision and phpBB right from cPanel and they are both free. Just in case you didn't know.

Yea...I love them both BUT my site design prevents me from using them as it requires major change of their coding for me to get it to fit and I dont get much time as it is due to the nagging wife.....(dont tell her I said that)

 

I still love supporting it. Do you all have a support section for people using it or do you refer them to the support forums for their respective sites?

[TCH-Bruce]

We answer what we can, and send them to the proper support forums if we can't.
