I know this has been asked before, sorry. But i;m gonna make a forum. i have the domain and im about to get the hosting. is that phpp still the best and easiest to use? i've only made them with templates before. and do i just make a folder called "forums" and up it all into that?

Did you mean phpbb? phpbb requires a database, MySQL is the default.

If your host supports it, it might be as easy as clicking the "install phpbb forum" button in the contol panel or admin section of your site's config. That's all I had to do, other than customize the templates and css.

Yeah. If your site supports subdomains, you can use forums.whatever.com as well.

I use phpbb2 for my website's discussion board. Use phpwebhosting to host it.

Just picked up a php programming book today. Going to start playing around with php and mySQL on my own here and see if I can't set up some stuff that will streamline a few things we do at the school that require mountains of paperwork.

phpbb is good but I like mybb more, it's very easy to setup and work is like phpbb. Has less exploits too and is not targeted by hackers because it's fairly new.
