Creating forums?

Feb 25.2003

Hi I’m rebuilding a website for a company and they would like a forum or discussions board for their users. The users will be able to log in and then they want a forum or discussion area. I was just wondering what program I should use to make this forum? Or if you know of any good tutorials out there? Not sure where to start, whether its done in javascript or what? Any help would be great.

Thanx in advance,
Chris

@jpmoriartyFeb 25.2003 — if you're hosting with serversonic then they let you add a forum to your site for free.

And you want to be using a server side scripting language (like asp or php) in conjunction with a database like MySQL - not javascript which is client side.

@JonathanDoeauthorFeb 25.2003 — Ok great thanks. Guess I'llhave to start learning asp huh?

Do you know anywhere that might have a specific tutorial on forums?

@JonathanDoeauthorFeb 25.2003 — Is there existing ones out there that are fully customizeable, and that wont have banners and ads through out them? If so that would be great and save alot of time. Know of any? Or where to look?

@VladdyFeb 25.2003 — Depends on what scripting language and DB are available on your server.

Here is a good free (for non-commercial use) ASP forum. They also have a page that lists their competitors: forum.snitz.com

Edit: link fixed

@pyroFeb 25.2003 — You may want to take a look at phpBB. I've used it in the past and been happy with it. http://www.phpbb.com/
