Admirable project that I looked at until I found www.phpbb.com/

It works a treat.

Yes. phpbb is a very impressive freebie, and playing with the skins will give you plenty of 'hands on experiance'<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Its not a freebie but free software under the GPL licence. Its an important distinction just free software = free speach not free beer.

Well then. i downloaded it and put it on my site to setup got past the 1st instaltion .
I then went to enter my admin password and username and nothing happend. i have had loads of help but noone could do it for me.
i usedthe free lycos webservice for it.

If any body would like to set it up for me andthen give me the passwords and username. so that i can then setit up how i want it to be done. please put the username to ADMIN and u chose the password

thsnk you Tim

I didn't have any probs like that, but if you let me know the url of the forum I would be glad to help, dont know if letting other people access your usernames / passwords at any time is a good idea though!!!!!
