Ok, I know this topic has most likely been addressed already, but I couldn’t find it anywhere (I did use the search function…!) so don’t kill me for asking again.

I would like to know how to make a forum like this one (maybe not with as many functions) but just a way for people to post threads under different topics, post replies and perhaps attach files/pics.

Thanks!

And for more forum scripts try OpenSourceCMS: [http://www.opensourcecms.com/](http://www.opensourcecms.com/)

You can check out demos of what they have to see which one may be right for what you’re looking for.

Yeah vbulletin was made by a team of coders and has been polished up over the years. One person coding something like this would take a while.
