Need a forum built

[lolly]

Let see it then?

I´ve built this site a few years ago around phpbb: www.feesteuh.be

Currently I´m in the process of redesigning and recoding it.

But it is far from a well built site. The URL's are still numbered meaning google won't index them, proving that paid software is far superior for a reason.

all tables.. that'll be fun to update

Most Forum's are tables

[tommylogic]

I get the forum portions.. but it's ALL the pages

[dreamingdesigner]

True, but that site was built 4 years ago and not a lot needed updating except for dynamic content. Also, I´m currently recoding (php) and restyling (css) so it is updated to the latest standards.

But my point in this topic was not to show my nicely "tabled" website, but that you can use free software to fullfill your needs. My example uses phpbb as base for the entire website which enables you to use sessions, data, validation,... on every page.

Lolly makes a good point about the numbered urls not a good idea for SEO

[dreamingdesigner]

That is a valid point. It all depends on the requirements off course :)

132,139 forums are opened every month on-line, out of that only 4 will last more than 6 months. Number 1 fault, the choice of software and it's limits.
