Well you can create a free forum at www.ezboard.com (rumor has it, this forum used to be on there, ok so it is true, but I wasn’t around then)

And yes it is possible in Flash… just check out this link…

It is from kirupa forums very own eyezberg. Maybe he will post a reply in this thread.

PS: Don’t expect it to be super easy.

i’m sure it won;t be but i am real good with understanding scripts :slight_smile:

Well that is a definite plus :slight_smile:

I believe http://www.phpbb.com/ is free. Not sure though.

Oh yeah, you also may need to have mySQL and PHP installed on your server. Definitely PHP, not sure about mySQL but it is highly likely.

Woah, thats awesome, an entire Flash Forum!!!

i wanna make my own cause i don;t want any advertising

I believe that phpbb only requires you to leave the copywrite notice at the bottom of the page. It is a link to their site.

I don’t use it, but I do believe that it is all they ask for. You host the board on your own server, so I don’t think they have the ads. They would have the ads if they hosted it on their servers, because they would need a way to pay for the space your taking up.

i may turn to that if i give up trying to make a flash forum :slight_smile:

Ok, good luck on that. I don’t know the first thing about it otherwise I would try and help with that.

i am waiting for that person (who made the flash forum) to reply i keep getting reply emails thinking yey i can start lol

He’s on vacation :smirk:

so does anyone else know how to then?

Take a look at my custom PhP Forums.

http://ultarius.com/AoS/phpBB2/

There are no adds.

Only thing there is , is a tiny tiny link all way on bottom. Its in plain text. These are probably the best type of forums to go with . Highly customizable and they just fun to use.

If your determined to get a flash forums, good luck. I would not have the first clue where to start. hehe

were can i find a tutorial for how to customise it cause i downloaded it but ya…

You can download styles or create your own…

http://www.phpbb.com/styles/

If you go there, clicking on documentation will teach you how to make your own Or you can click on downloads or demos, etc.

Hope this helps:)

<B>EDIT: </B> Maybe I should have entered the section first instead of just reading the description.
" Documentation
Read this guide to learn how to create your own styles."

But apparently just the graphics part is up for now…

were can i find mySQL and PHP and how do i put them on my server

http://www.mysql.com/

http://www.php.net

You can download them there. They should come with documentation to tell you how to install them on your server.

… i followed everything they said but they no work…

ne1 got msn or icq that they could tell me what i’m doing wrong

Are you the administrator of your server? I believe you have to admin to install stuff on it.

If you are, and it is still not working, I don’t know what to tell you, I already had PHP and mySQL installed on my server when I moved in.
