A mate of mine who is a language teacher at high school level wishes to set up a forum for students to interact with students from other countries.
suggestions of “dummy” proof forums would be great.
cheers in adv.
I don’t know any forum that is ‘dummy’ forum, but phpBB is a free solution.
dummy proof…that’s tough 
If she isn’t interested in anything fancy, ezboard is not a bad choice. You have limited customizability, but you don’t have to have your own server or worry about troubleshooting anything.
coo. cheers kirupa. LOL @ Maxtrosity.
any more? (currently looking at ezboard)
I see lots of “Invision Power Boards” out there. Maybe they’re foolproof.
Invision Power Board is no more foolproof than any other self installed php-based forum system out there in my opinion.
I agree with kirupa, get a free one that isn’t hosted on your own server or installed by you or anything, just a nice automated one with minimal features. EZboard being one of those.
I’ve never made a IPB; I was just spewing out names.
