SpicyBeef Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I am planning on having a forum (like the forum here on Neowin) of my own. Where can I find one? How can I set it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liar2 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 well, neowin here uses invision board. it's a free script that you could use. just make sure your host supports PHP. another script would be phpbb. it's a slightly stripped down version of invision, but it works just the same. if your host doesn't support php, then your pretty much SOL because the other scripts really suck...

Anyone can do what they like. If they don't feel liking search then they can ask here! They might need different answers to their questions. Okay, about the forums, I've heard that there are lots of different kinds of forums. Most of which I've been to was using php and Invision. There is a link to the forums creator site at the bottom of most forums when you visit it like this one, just click on Invision Power Board to learn about the forum software Neowin uses. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 www.invisionpower.com <- Invision (like Neowin) www.phpbb.com <- phpBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted September 29, 2003 MVC Share Posted September 29, 2003 I have to agree with mxxcon on this one - What is wrong with the answer mxxcon gave?? He gave a link to lots of info on forum software - sure seems like a valid response to the question if you ask me. Hmmm - I want a board like on neowin, maybe the freaking link on the bottom that says powered by "Invision Power Board" might be a good place to start??

jazz101 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I was thinking of getting a forum too and have been looking at phpbb.com, is it better than invisionpower.com? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbosdell Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 its a lot simplier with many less features and a slower dev time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
