Default Creating Forum

I am working on creating a forum I have downloaded a program called phpBB (basically a Forum built in PHP) however I was wondering you anyone here has built one and would be able to give me some information on how to go about completing this.

Well, I use Invision Power Board for the site in my signiture and I love it. I have used almost all boards in the past and so far I am most satisfied with this one. All you need to is go to their site and download it. The install is very easy, and the community they have makes it easy to learn. Thats just my opinion. Good luck

I would say to wait for the forum I am developing but you could be waiting for some time :P

All you need to do is follow the instructions in the manual. They are pretty comprehensive. If you need any help, the best place is to actually go to www.phpbb.com and post a question in their forum.

I have been looking into phpBB previous to this post and it looked nice. But I was checking with what others have used. Thanks for the input.

I made coded my own forum, best way to go if you want full control. Doesn't this forum use phpBB? I think it does.

Yes look at the very bottom line of the page, barely visible: powered by phpBB 2.0.5
