FAO people who build websites and know about Forums I am looking to add a 'proper' forum to the PGR website.....I have been looking around and notice that some forum providers are free and others charge! Can anyone recommend any, or give me some pointers to look out for?
Yeah we use it, free for the first 30 days as a trial then works out at about £10 every 3 months, pretty easy to use as well.
Not to sure like mate dont think so, but you can customize the colours and just about everything else.
no problemo, cheers for pointing it out to me....It always better getting a recommendation from some one on these things!
PHPBB is also a good one, completely free and very easy to manage It's also fully customizable. www.phpbb.com i believe!
vbulletain is just very good... you get support, access to plugins etc... phpbb will do in most cases.
Just that, service. phpBB is very good but you're basically on your own when it comes to installing it and customising it. I have never used any of the paid message boards but I think you get access to support if you have any problems...
Cheers for your help guys gonna try a free one 1st if it turns out to be a bit pony, I'll move to a paying forum service U reckon www.phpbb.com is the one to go for?
Definately, it's fine. There is tonnes of support availavle to be fair, there is a forum on the website, people will help you out.
