How do I create new forums on my website?

Since I know less than you, why don't you post the question in Web Development & Design? Who knows who might drop in.

Damn.

Forgot that existed.


Mind you, web development and design in any true sense of the words this isn't!

Pathetic, hopeful, wistful bump.

I could do it for you, but I'd have a tough time trying to explain it without refreshing my memory with a glance at the tools again. It's been at least 8 years or more since I last administered a php BBS.

I'll look around and see if I can find a basic admin tutorial for you and post a link here if I find one that will work for you.

Here you go:

Found another that might be better for you:

Son said he just messed around until he found the right thing.

Thanks, BF, I will have a look at this.





I've MESSED!!!


Thing is I did it easily on my other site...but that host deletes stuff.


I am wondering if the "migration" this site talks about, that is possible only after 500 posts, is what allows the vcreation of non test forums?


I have emailed them to ask for help, a number of times, with no reply.


Sigh.

Maybe I just need another host.

I want the format (similar to here) to be the same.

If your server comes with Cpanel. Chances are that it comes with Fantastico. Fantastico makes script installation easy and fun. phpbb and SMF are available under Fantastico.

Good luck.
