I have a rather large problem at hand, and I don't know from where to approach it. I want to
make a forum using phpbb, I have done so before, but I have never hosted it and made it adfree. I
want to do so with trap17, but I find that I know nothing about FTP and hosting in general.
Here is what I know. QUOTE I have made 2 forums before, one of them was very successful,
the other I had to stop because I found out I couldn't do too much editing when using phpbb. I
know that I need access to something called the forum-code and ftp to manually cus...

I currently have an IPB 2.1 forum board on my site. I am wondering: Is it possible to upgrade to a
newer version of IPB, like to IPB 2.2 or 2.3? If it is indeed possible, will all data from the old
forum be erased? If you can't upgrade, is it possible to move posts, users, etc. on to a 2.2
board if purchased?...

Okay I visit alot of forums and this is part stuff that I notice and part just general
marketing/business theory that can be applied to any product. I noticed that alot of forums change
the way they arange their sections CONSTANTLY. Like I'll see the same category redivided into
different sections like 5-6 times in 4 months. Here's your problem. Customers subliminally seek
consitency in the products that they use. You can think of your Forum as a product, but you can also
think of each category and each section individually as seperate products when you analyz...

Another user recently posted an idea based on users submitting quality articles to an engine that
populates additional pages to a website thus having the user community contribute to the ever
expanding site (set up like an online directory or WIKI etc.). Sure it's been done but it's
still a good thing when you have an idea that might gain momentum because of it's design in the
first place. Kind of like trap17 asking users to post in exchange for something they value. This is
a good arrangement because there is a level of respect among users and the quality is...

Hello everyone, recently I set up a forum online, the hosting provider I set it up with however only
offered access databases, no sql. We got the forum working as normal, but we started to notice
little differences, there is no ability to backup the forum in the admin section, and we are also
unable to install any mods to it. Apparently with the Phpbb forum using a MS Access database is
limited. Now we have a bit of a problem because the forum has been running for some time, and we
are trying to find a way to get the information moved over with us if we change to an S...

Hi, We have made a forum software by the name of Advanced Electron Forum(AEF). Its not that
advanced right now and is under BETA since 24th November 2006. Link:
http://www.anelectron.com/board/ Well most of the features of posts, threads, polls, BBC,
notifications, unread posts and threads etc are done. The UserCP is almost complete and has the PM
system to sed messages and all. The user CP was fully complete but due to a major changeover in
theme loading and settings we have to make minor changes due to which there would be some errors.

QUOTE Competitions can often be used to extremely good effect. Generating a feeling of added
community atmosphere throughout, how so you ask, well by having a systematic and regular competition
ensures that member participation will gradually but surely increase in a bid to win one of your
prizes. Logic will of course prevail that the greater the prize you are giving away then the greater
the interest, participation and registration rates. Nice ideas. Next time think of them

I want to create a Public Forum in my site, but I do not know how. My friends told me to use either
PHPBB or Invision, which of them better based on your opinion? And how to set up the database?
What type of database does this site host? MySQL 3.x? MySQL 4.x? PostgreSQL 7.x? MS SQL Server
7/2000? MS Access ? MS SQL Server ? What is the database server hostname / DNS? There are a lot
more things to ask, so please help me, especially those who have succeeded in creating an online
forum. Thank you....
