'Ello,

I am looking to coding my own forums, not using stuff like IPB, I know some PHP an am planning on leanr more before I start, but does any one know how hard it will be. The main reason for this is because stuff liek IPB all look exactly the same, except for a skin, but its all the same, can any one tell me the basics to it? I mean how it would work not just the coding.

hi,

well first off, if its a first program, it can be hard. but actually im starting on my own forum as well and i saved that for last on things to make since i wanted to make smaller(not really that small) scripts that will use the same gerenal functions. but basically you would want something that you can post,reply, and have different categories(forums) and add bbcode, which is actually easier than you may think

but all depends on what you want as for features.
