Forum Software

4thfrog

Hi,

I'd would really like to add a forum to my website, with a google adsense banner at the top. Is there any reasonably priced software out there that would let me build and customized a forum without knowlage of php or Mysql?

Thanks,
Katie

phpBB is a very easy to use and setup forum software. It's also free, with pretty good documentation and support. For a fairly 'standard' looking forum, the documentation should have everything you need to know.

There are plenty of guides to set up adsense on phpBB forums also, e.g:

etc...

Another vote for phpbb here. It's free and very user friendly to install/administer. If you know a little about computers or fancy experimenting, it's quite nice to play with too to get new skins, add new features etc.

I think the almost unanimous decision would be to go with phpBB
