Preserved Topic: Forums (Page 1 of 1)

Hi, My partner is working on a new website right now... and it's soon to be up... I'm in search of a forum though... I need a quick loading one, ppl can sign up, bannerless, and I can control the sections and colors and stuff. I've downloaded a Burning Flame one or whatever MetaEffects uses but found out I don't support MySQL... Is there a place that I can get one for free that has all I need... EzBoard used to be great... but they are full of banners now... Or is there someone here who can host one for me... I can pay a small amount right now and put a link... or if you want to see my site first pls tell me...

Finding one that doesn't need MySQL will be hard. But if you can't find it at HotScripts, it will be even more difficult.

okay i'll look into those... but the only language i know is some css, some javascript, and HTML

YaBB is decent... they used to be at www.yabb.org but i don't think they are anymore, so search google for them.

I use Ikonboard, www.ikonboard.com . It is working great for me. It has a full administration panel so barely and CGI knowledge is needed. The only CGI knowledge you need is to configure the first few paths and urls but they are completly outlined in the readme file. It has no ads and you should be able to get it up and running in no time.

Slime - so we do not link to porn sites http://yabb.xnull.com/.

System requirements to run YaBB
-A webspace account
-Perl 5 (or higher) installed on the server your web account is on
-CGI.pm v2.4+ and Socket.pm modules installed on the server your web account is on
-At least 1 mb of diskspace on your webspace account; over 3mb recommended
-Sendmail (for UNIX) or SMTP (for NT or UNIX); optional, but recommended

System requirements to run Ikonboard
- CGI enabled directory
- About 10 megabytes of harddrive space for initial installation
- Perl version 5.004
- CGI.pm v2.4+ (most web servers have this installed by default)
- Sendmail, or SMTP access (optional)
