murphy Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 is it possible for me to create my own forum here?are there places that gives me the option to build my own forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 check out invision power board's website they offer italso just get server with php 5 support and download ipb v2 and just follow the instructions, real easy...but i doubt msfn is going to offer u a place to build your own forum.u can get a $3.95 hosting from eMaX hosting (check the banner) and host your forum in thereor if u're not going to publish anything and just want to learn the functions in the forum just install php support on your own machine and build the forum there...

XPerties Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Actually invision is no longer free from version 2.0 and up. I spoke with them today and anyone caught using it will receive a ceased and desist order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prathapml Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 @murphyIf free forum (and hosting) is what you want, go here:http://invisionfree.comYou can have your forum operating with the least headache - no cost/setup worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 hey there I just checked againhttp://www.invisionboard.com/?triallimitedand there is a trial version but this time its really trial which mean its limited to: The trial version is encoded which means you are unable to view the PHP source or modify the PHP source. There are also these hard limits: 5000 Posts1000 Topics1000 Personal Messages200 MembersBulk Mailer DisabledLanguage Editing DisabledSQL Toolbox DisabledNo IPB Portal IncludedNo SSI Export FacilitiesNo ability to upgrade between trial versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Yes, that info has been posted before.1. Those limitations are extremely severe, to run a real forum on.2. If the thread-starter knew what needed to be done to setup a forum from scratch (using IPB, or whatever) - he wouldn't askcan i and how can i create my own forumI guess the intention, is to have a ready-made forum somewhere, which can be easily put to use without headaches of having to deal with server hosting, file-uploads, PHP/MySQL db, etc. InvisionFree is a good idea in such cases.
