er … , get a forum software, install it on the server, adjust the layout … basicly like that.

oh so you can't make a webpage using html or css coding.

you have to use a program.

of course you can, but you were asking for a forum and that’s way more than a simple web page.

[MusoFreak200]

That being said, I think you can see why a question may go unanswered for any amount of time. Furthermore, it happens sometimes if the forum is busy, that a new question can be overlooked.

i'm sorry Dormilich

i didn't mean to make it sound offencive

[Dormilich]

I’d have it discovered sooner or later … the forum software usually makes announcements of new threads.

Hey, MusoFreak200.

Developing a fully-fledged web-based forum goes much too far beyond the scope of CSS and HTML. Forums are generally database driven, and, as such, you'll need to work with databases - that means using a server-side programming language to do the foot work for you: create new post, edit post, delete post, etc.

Of course, as Dormilich said, this has been done many, many, many times before, and you'd only be reinventing the wheel. However, if you want to do this as a project to learn web development, then by all means go for it. Just beware that you'll need to learn PHP (or something like). That said, don't be daunted by my suggestion - we have a great set of experts in the PHP forum that would be willing to help.

Thanks,
Mark.
