good lord. this is like asking "hey I've got a soldering gun and some wire, can someone explain how to build a computer?" search google for "free php forum" There's a couple free bulletin board systems around, but I don't know any off the top of my head.

LOL.

Haha, good point 43. I mean it's so true... haha.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be so negative. It's just that lately alot of people have been asking for things like this. "I have very little understanding of [whatever] can someone tell me how to do [something extremely complex and detailed]."

try http://www.phpbb.com/ install and setup instructions are usually provided. But if you get into trouble, you're pretty much on your own. running a forum requires understanding of php and mysql.

Hey I could make a tutorial... Installing phpBB is a difficult process if you have no knowledge of php and mySQL lol.

That&#39;d be nice. but i got a PM from wigchert saying they don&#39;t want a full bulletin board system. just html code on how to make a simple one... (rolling your eyes? slamming your head against the keyboard? EXACTLY&#33 so it&#39;s unnecessary for this situation. although i&#39;m sure many people would find it useful in the future.

A little note to everyone that&#39;s reading this and thinking about posting a similar "how do i do this" question.

If you ask a question like this, and someone says you can&#39;t do it (especially a senior member) it&#39;s because you can&#39;t do it. We aren&#39;t being assholes, we&#39;re not ignoring you, or being lazy. It can not be done. If you continue to argue it, or insult us...we will get pissed, and we will ignore you. There&#39;s simply some stuff that you can&#39;t do without knowing alot about web programming/designing. A forum, for example, is one of those things.

hi

Yes...I told Unit_Number_43 that I want just a simple forum and not a php forum but if I had the knowledge of making a php board/site I would do it immidiatly&#33; So I guess that tutorial would be VERY nice if it comes . All I want on my site is when I click on the button "forum" I get (on the same site) a forum IF it is possible

I dont get that part of your post...
1. Nobody told me it was impossible and if so thay did it in a indirect way...
2. I respect all of the work done by the staff and i DON&#39;T think they are lazy or something like that...
3. I don&#39;t keep argueing...
4. I do understand this part

but that is why people ask questions, just to get more knowledge of something...the people thet know now have learned it somewhere right???

I don&#39;t know if that part of your post had something to do with me, if so you misunderstood me very bad and thought the very worst of my post and pm...

@ Thattechplace If you would make a tutorial about PHP I would really apriciate it

It wasn&#39;t directly targetted towards you. there&#39;s been a rash of very general questions like this lately. I&#39;m tackling a problem before it gets worse.

You answer was given in the 4th post. www.phpbb.com you shouldn&#39;t need a tutorial for it. there&#39;s instructions and help forums on the site. (i believe)

[wigchert]

thats the problem: it isn&#39;t explained there, not even on the forum...

Took me two minutes to find this. At least try and look before giving up.
