Free MySQl Questions and Answers forum for a website?

post #1 of 5

Thread Starter 
Hello, I'm a hobby website developer.

I'm looking for an easy script that would create a small questions and answers (but not necessarily) type forum or just a simple forum inside of a website page.

I've heard of scary stories that setting up a phpBB forum and cutting it smaller for your website can be quite a challenge for a newbie.

Basically I don't need any fancy things like registered users boxes, last post boxes, calenders or anything else. Something clean and simple.

If anyone has any suggestions, please share them with me! :-)

Even though phpBB can be a little pain to setup, I would go for it nonetheless.
Free, updated often, scalable and you can use it in a simple or more complicate way. Could you ask for more?
As long as you follow any tut online you shouldn't encounter any problem. And you always have OCN as a reference for any trouble thumb.gif

I gave several inferior open-source forums a try, but the debugging was a pain for me, as I just want things to work (unless the issue is of PEBKAC-type).

I've just set up phpBB3 forum and will start the embedding process. Everything has gone very smoothly so far.

I'm sure you will enjoy phpBB, it's very easy to set up and once it is, any regular user can administer it.

Knock on wood, I've never had an issue with a phpBB instance except that one time when I changed the MySQL password and forgot that phpBB was using it...
