Need help creating a forum...

Hi guys. Ive been trying to creat a forum on one of my sites. What is a good easy to do way of making a forum and having it be the entire page rather than and embeded little square? Thanks
Jim

 

i dont quite get what you mean

 

You want to make forum... if you are using a cpanel and linux server you can do this from "fantastico" inside the cpanel with one click your forum would be installed and if you are using a different linux control panel then download any free forum script and you can install it with help of installation file...

Hope this helps...

 

I will install a forum for you if you like. Just PM me.

 

i suggest to install phpBB it's free and available on fantastico
to make it fit to the entire page just change the width of your board like this :

open up the file called "common.css"(located at /style/prosilver/theme), make sure it is the file which is in the style folder you wish to edit. Find this part of the code:

Code: Select all
#wrap {
padding: 0 20px;
min-width: 650px;
}


Change to something like this:

Code: Select all
#wrap {
padding: 0 20px;
width: 850px;
min-width: 650px;
margin: 0 auto;
}



good luck

 

DON'T go with phpBB. It's got more security issues than a Nimitz class aircraft carrier has sailors aboard. Go with another forum package instead, such as SMF or (dare I say it) vBulletin.

 

i'd go with SMF they hold up very well.

 

I would try mybb I really love that one and it has many great plugins.
