    Hello all

    I have been using DP for long and now I want to launch a forum of mine related to my institute (it will be part of my project too)

    Could anyone tell me the place where I can get the php code for a VERY SIMPLE looking forum. No complex looks like DP. I want a very simple forum like http://www.labnol.org/forums/

    I am using dreamhost for my two blogs (links in signature) and I wanted to know if that account will be enough for the forum hosting. Like their will be many people registering with unique user IDs and passwords. Will that account handle that?

    Please help me ..I need the pre written codes for the forum. A very simple looking forum.

    I know php,html,asp,css and others so I can easily understand the code. Please help me get the code from somewhere..

    Thank you

    I use Dreamhost and host the following forum: http://www.adminfuel.com/

    I also have several others. You will find that forum useful for help regarding this :)

    Hi rockinaway..

    Thank you for your time to this thread. I did have a look at vanilla forum. It contains very heavy coding. I am planning to use this forum for my next project (got no time to code the stuff from scratch)

    So please please please could you give me link to a forum which is very simple with looks and contains no heavy coding..

    by the way rep added :)

    please reply
