keturahuriel Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Where would I go to find a step by step, into the nitty gritty of making a forum/chat site? More like a forum, like topics and everything, but still instant messaging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natechs Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Try phpBB. If you are looking into the commercial field, try Invision Power Board. IPB will allow a chat room, not sure about phpBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC5 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Are you asking how to personally make a forum? This is a very complex system. I would recommend either Invision Board or vBulletin. Both are great. If your looking to not spend money, usually your host provides a board you can install. If not then google. There are free ones out there that I used to use, but it might take a couple minutes for you to find the right site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think one of the Sam's Teach Yourself PHP books has creating a forum as an exercise, can't remember which one it was.But yes, making a forum takes a while - I made one once and it still isn't finished :)phpBB is a good open source bulletin board.
