Yea, I agree, probably your best bet if you wish to host a forum. That is if you can stand their ads.

I've never saw an ad when I go on a board hosted by tripod.co.uk or tripod.nl.

<<< MOD EDIT >>> we don't allow discussions on how to cheat a free host by removing ads etc. /Peo

 

[stevenff7]

OK. but I am not very sure about it so is there anyone who can help out setting it up.

 

[stevenff7]

ooops I edited it and spell chacked it.

[stevenff7]

that what should I use

BTW: www.portland.co.uk no longer allows php/mysql forums. You have to upgrade to "Enhanced Forum Hosting" for 20 pounds/year (sorry can't make the pound sign) which gives you a whopping 250mb/month transfer.

if you really want a forum that bad - create a site for it first - then get some visitors - THEN set up your forum, on a paid host

First you have to log in and click PHP4U or MySQL. it should be activated after that. you can update the page and it should say Admin instead of Activate.

$dbname = "user _uk_db";
$dbuser = "user ";
$dbpw = "password";

Replace the red parts.
(just copyied out of my XMB forum i just added there)
