Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

My website is www.songofhealth.com. I currently have a forum for subscribers that was free. It is very elementary and it is time to upgrade to a more sophisticated program. I need help in knowing what forum programs are available that are reliable and user friendly, easy to find threads and contribute. Thank you. Sandra, Song of Health.

Is the current forum something well known, custom made, etc? What is it capable of now, vs what you want to be able to do with it?

There are dozens of free open source forums that can be used and customized; probably the biggest integration issue would be the user database so that members that sign up with your site are automatically added in the forums` user database also.

Hi,

Purchase www.Vbulletin.com.  Also pick up the SEO Mod at http://www.vbseo.com/.  You could use http://www.phpbb.com/ which is free but there is a larger development community for VB. 

This means you can go to templatemonster.com, sitepoint.com (marketplace), or even hire a web developer to create a quick and easy design, install it, and get your site up and running pretty quick.  Don`t try to save money...just get VB.
