Ok I want to start a network of dating forums for specific locations. I was kind of leaning towards vBulletin. Just because I saw a nice layout through another board. I want to include a chatroom maybe a photo gallery and maybe a blog. I wouldnt know how to go about integrating a photogallery into a board so that only members can post. Maybe creating a custom slide show. Also does anyone know of any free or cheap blog solutions I can create for my members. Another thing is I want the most user friendly board there is. I am assuming most people dont know how to use forums. I know its easy to figure out how to post. But I want my members to be able to make profiles and add pictures etc. Also can anyone think of any feature that would be unique in my project. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
I would actually suggest IPB as they have a nice portal system and blogs integrate nicely into the system.
