Forums

[fcon]

What level of computer programming do I need to be at to be able to create a basic forum? Doesn't have to be sign in but it would help. Starting to learn Javascript, familiar with HTML, CSS and fairly good at C++. Is it worth my while trying?

You can just use something like the proboards, vbulletin or invision, instead of writing down a whole new code by yourself. That'd be much easier and smarter.

Probably will use one of them. Just trying to create a forum which needs sign in and a forum with no sign in for different websites.

Good to start with phpBB. It's free, simple, and in some cases a lot better than vBulletin (minus modding capabilities), which costs a small fortune. Just download it, read the instructions and install onto your free host.

If you need a hand, you can post here. Just don't post here asking, "Okay so how do I install it now?". Try your best first, it's the best way to learn.

cheers. Just starting with PHP at the moment so will be a while before I get up to this standard. If then I have any problems I'll come back. Thanks for your help
