Simple Forums

[Hobbes]

I am creating a simple website to allow friends and family to post message into a forum.

 

Is there a simple way to create one?

 

Thank you.

It's difficult to answer without knowing your knowledge level.

 

You can create a page with a few text boxes and then use an SQL update statement to write their current contents to a database. That's the short answer.

A simple linear guestbook-type bulletin board would not be that hard to create, granted you know basic SQL syntax.

You can download the forum from Internet for free. Even some of them are source code available. But I have not found one in .NET environment.

Thanks guys!

 

BungPeng, can you direct to those site?

 

I currently using the sql (with access...) but I found it inefficient coz of the 255 character limit.

 

Kindly advise.

Free forums that use PHP & MySQL.

I think this ASP forum is more suitable, and it supports MS Access, MS SQL and MySQL...

there is a forum on the microsoft's site built with c#.net and the source code is available for free

1. I do not like the User Interface

2. I think it needs further enhancement, not as stable as phpbb & snitz

3. I try to install it before but failed...
