Does anywhere know any website where I can get good web-message boards?

I dont like Network 54 or Ezboard. And I cant use the ones like Snittz Forums (to hard to install)

Any ideas?

YaBB are really good although they are hard to set up. Go to http://www.yabbforum.com for more info...

MySQL is a Database application. Little like Microsoft Access. It's something that works well along PHP, so you can store data on the MySQL Database, and let PHP read, change and manipulate it in a way you like.

Like you'd need Microsoft Access installed on your computer to view access files, you need a host with MySQL installed on its servers. Freeola don't have this, as do not a lot of Free Hosts. Its not something yo can decide to upload or not, its down to your hosts weather they aupport MySQL and PHP or not.

Not a clue. Maybe someone else knows. Never used phpBB personally, I might in the near future though.

And whasup' with the photo parade thing?

MySQL will only work if your host supports it. You'll have to see. It's not something you can upload onto your webspace so it works.

Also, a lot of the files from PhpBB are called sumthin like Photo Parade.
And it says in eed to download this to work it, but whenevr i go on there site it costs, is this right?

My internet host is NTL World
I've downloaded PhpBB, what do I have to download from MySQL?

http://www.phpbb.com/

and

http://www.mysql.com/

PhpBB is a forum but it will only work if your host supports mySQL. Who is your host by the way?

What is PHpBB and MYsql?
Is there a website for it?

PhpBB is great, yeah it does need MySql, very good forums though.
