to create a forum, HTML code only is not enough. You’ll need Javascript, PHP, MySQL. shortcut to have a forum, you can install a forum CMS (forum CMS is a ready-to-use forum application) in your web site. There are a lot of free forum CMS, you can search them via internet.

Well, you can’t just create a fully functional forum by just using HTML.

You need to install a forum software on your website.

If you have the money, I’ll suggest purchasing vBulletin, the most powerful forum software on the Internet.

Although it’s pretty expensive, it’s worth the money, 😉

If you don’t have the money to waste on forum software, try phpBB.

phpBB is free and easy to use.

If your having problems, you can always read ‘start up’ tutorials, or get support from the phpBB team.

When a person posts to a forum, his/her post has to be saved somewhere, right? Normal HTML and javascript cannot do that – you need server side scripting like PHP, JSP, or ASP to save that post onto some central server computer. This is a lot of work to do yourself.

However, you can embed forums into your web site. A good, free, easily embeddable forum widget is called Nabble. Yoiu can create a forum, customize it, and embed it into your website with just a few extra lines of code. Nabble can also do a bunch of other stuff.

Uh, you’re kidding, right?

First of all, discussion boards are not written in HTML. They’re written in a scripting language like PHP, and often require dozens of scripts, a few thousand lines of code, and a database to store everything.

You can add some free forum software to your site. Google “phpbbs”.

If you wanna do that for something basic use google pages but you need to create a google account to use it. I know this is a 4 year old question but I hope this helps…
