| Hi, ive been making a website to be the home of the Community framework and was wanting to add a basic forum, were people could post bugs or code etc. Ive got very little experience of seting up anything like this. I have a hosting package with streamline.net which has 5 mysql databases and im looking at phpbb.com from what i can gather its just a case of uploading the package from phpbb.com to my webspace and installing it from there? has anyone got any info as i cant find a simple guide anywhere. Pete |

| Phpbb also offers a forum on their servers that you administer through your browser. I had one for a bit, and it was fairly easy to use and from what I could tell, had a lot of features. |
| ||
| If you go to phpbb.com and go to support, documentation there is a guide thats easy to follow. |
| ||
| thanks, its almost like theres to much info on that site. |
| ||
| if you haven't already started on something check out http://www.bestfreeforums.com/index/ very simple to use and pretty much hassel free imho (and i'm someone who knows next to nothing about this stuff). |
| ||
| SMF with TinyPortal is a pretty decent setup for a site with forums. |
| ||
| freeforum101.com ? then you dont have to host it. I use them, it seems pretty good/standard/low spam. Has 1 advert box but nothings really free is it :D |
| ||
| I dont mind paying the hosting ive used them before and there a great company to deal with. I think ill try a free one for the time being though thanks. |
| ||
| I would also like to submit a vote for punBB, which I use myself. |
| ||
| interesting i will look at punbb as i like the sound of a cut down fast forum. |
