    What’s the best way to create a forum in Dreamweaver? It wouldn’t have to be as advanced as this site, but what’s the best way to go about it?

    I have a client who wants to include a simple forum or “message board” as she calls it. I’ve never done one and was just looking for a place to start.

    Any help, advice, or resources would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    hello…

    your best bet is probably a 3rd party freeware/open source tool like phpbb – writing a generic forum is sorta re-inventing the wheel at this stage of the net, unfortunately…

    but i would also sorta caution against a forum for a small site unless you really think the traffic is there to support it – otherwise, you end up with a site that has a dead forum (not a good visual impression for new visitors) or you have to spend a bunch of time monitoring it and making sure random people don’t post in appropriate messages… :-/

    hope that helps!
