Can someone please help program a forum for us?

Has afew releases, not sure how far back you would need to go to get a compatible version...

just keep in mind that some older versions might not be php5 compatible. this might be an issue if the server you use has php5 and don't offer php4.

Unfortunately there's nothing left! The person who offered us hosting for the forum forgot about it and the whole site was wiped. The new forum will have to start fresh, but my head is still bursting with ideas to start discussing, and I'll post about our ongoing projects too.

maybe one of these packages can help. http://www.forummatrix.org/
not familiar with most of these.
if you want to check compatibility i have xoops 2.3.3 installed here
http://www.bloodfire.exofire.net/Elites/ the guild associated with it is dead now.

The forum we want needs to have avatar support and coloured tables that work in Amiga browsers. Here is a website forum which works perfectly in IBrowse and looks the same as it does through OWB/Opera/Firefox - http://totalchaoseng.dbv.pl
If we could get something like this set up, that's all we'd need! I emailed the webmaster a few months ago to ask if he was interested in helping out but never got a reply.

i looked at the website and it looks like this is the package they used.
some themes for this package is here
also this is the hosting company i used. they host for free as long as you login to their forums every so often.

What is that one forum setup that uses newBB?

is that a part of Xoops?

yea that is available for xoops. my site uses a variation of that package called cbb.
it is the theme used that might not show well.
