What are the advantages to having a forum?
Forums permit your customers and potential customers to discuss issues. They get the chance to ask questions and make comments while reading the responses from others. This will probably relieve your support/customer service departments of some unnecessary work, and users find it to be convenient.
In addition, it's a great way to obtain free links for Search Engine Ranking.
Why Select phpBB?
There is no charge. Licenses do not need to be purchased. phpBB is free to the public. Besides the program (source code) being unencrypted, the license allows you to alter it or add new code as desired. To make more major alterations, you will need to possess some PHP expertise.
Installing PHPbb
Once you download it you can immediately start to install. Unless your website host provides Fantastico on the server, you must have a bit of knowledge for the initial installation. In a matter of seconds, Fantastico can install phpBB automatically, and once you do a bit of configuring, your forum will be ready for use. If you prefer to do the installation on your own, you will have to familiarize yourself with the concepts of file and folder permissions, FTP, and setting up a MySQL database, if you are not already knowledgeable with regard to these.
Personalize: Altering the look or functionality.
You have the option of altering or selecting a new theme for your phpBB forum. The majority of the authors do not charge a fee or request donations. If you are feeling confident, you can make your own or alter your current theme.
Assistance is readily available on the phpBB user forums. You can pay a programmer to make the desired changes. Qualified PHP programmers are not hard to locate and are cost effective -- especially if you do not already have a working knowledge of PHP.
