YaBB - http://www.yabbforum.com/downloads.php
PHPBB - http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php

To speak the truth, YaBB and PHPBB2 don't have very nice acp. But go for PHPBB2 if you have php and/or cgi. I'd recommend MyBBoard (http://www.mybboard.com/) or Invision Board (http://www.invisionboard.com/)

I would say Invision Board is your best bet.

 

[MegUK]

Where would i find Invision Board and is it easy to use for a completely duhhhh novice? lol
thanks

But if your a complete novice you might have more luck with one of these pre made forums:

Down the bottom. That links to post I made in response to your previous post. Please try reading around a bit before posting. It gets very tedious to hand out the same advice twice to the same person!

I'm guessing here, but this particular forum probably doesn't use more than, say.. 75-100 megs maybe...

HI Bruce

Thanks for the reply. I have signed up with Insight. They will even upload the message boards for me........it is costing $13.95 a month, but that is cool.
I have just one problem lol. I dont know what to do next. Do I wait until they register my domain. Am i supposed to know where to upload my website? I am so confused. Well lol, i am just a newbie :cry2:

I estimate it's much less! All the info are stored in the mysql database so the account just stores the templates.

oops

Correction to name of my posting.......two back. It is Invision not Insight lol..

So it's difficult to host it on free hosting

If you had a popular BB such as this you wouldn't want it on free hosting.....they just might die in the butt tomorrow :confused2

I agree with Jan. Free hosts tend to be slow.

 

[TRUNKS]

YaBB I say! YaBB!!!

Hi Trunks

I have signed up with worldzone. I believe that the package I have chosen comes with messageboards already installed. However, I have attempted to upload my index.html using their ftp, and although it stated, upload successful, I cant see my actual homepage when i put my website address in my browser. Am I missing something? lol. I am totally confused
