I put one phpBB on my site and it wasnīt too difficult although I didnīt know anything. Try searching some phpBB tutorials and download the mod in the site http://www.phpbb.com/
Good luck |

I use freebb.com It has a nice board, but is simple. It is very functional if you are not looking for anything fancy. There are others out there, just google it. Good luck man!

There are forum scripts already pre installed on your host.
Go under Cgi Scripts (I think...) and look for Invisionboard, or PhpBb. Otherwise, you can go to www.phpbb.com , download, upload via FTP and run the installer. OR Go to www.Invisionboard.com purchase an Ipb License, upload via FTP and run the installer. OR Go to www.google.com and download something else and upload it. OR Go to www.google.com and download something illegal and upload it but risk your account deletion(I think...) and board deletion. I don't recommend using the illegal boards at all.  I recommend you use the InvisionBoard thats already on the host. |

That forum is powered by vBoard, of who's cost I don't know. I do know that there is a Mambo component/module that intergrates it with your Mambo site. I used Simpleboard under Mambo, but didn't totally like it, especially having to administrate a whole huge forum.
