Forum Software question

    Steve,

    What software do you use for this forum? Is it portable to Linux or does it need a Windows OS?

    I've been asked by a private group to create a forum for them, but the server is Linux and uses MySQL (Whoohoo! a new DB format & language to learn).

    Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks,

    We use Instant Forums (www.instantasp.co.uk)

    I have a number of enhancements I am meaning to ask them for.

    We used to use Snitz, which is free and works well. Might also try looking at what some other forums use.

    Brandi one of the best forum platforms out there for phpBB/MySQL stuff out there is phpBB http://www.phpbb.com/%5B/url%5D

    free, open source,

    full featured easy to use, huge deployment so you can find a lot of stuff on forums for enhancements.

    hope that helps!

    Steve & Lowell,

    Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

    Looks like I have major research to do on the issue. But at least now I know where to start. @=)

    Thanks again,
