Can someone help me build a forum similar to this!?

[535dman]

Nothing to do with Cars, Mobile Phones, Electronics etc - I have other plans - can anyone help?

Wanted an idea on costs, whats needed etc? Could use one of the free hosting sites Phb or wotever they're called!

Cheers

Google for phpBB

I know about PhPbb but I know nothing about developing a forum and would like a company/individual to quote me for this!? Thanks

Well phpBB is free so its just a case of plugging in it, it shouldnt take someone familiar with web stuff more than 10 minutes.

No development required as such.

I've tired - probably sound like a prick to those who find it easy but I just couldnt get round to sorting it!

Need someone to manage hosting/banners etc as banners from clients are imminent!

I'll set you up a phpBB system for £5,000 + VAT... and expenses (mostly Diet Coke & Matleesers related)

Have you tried Ted he now does Consultancy.

If you get scared with PHP (I do) go for www.yetanotherforum.net , uses MS SQL Server Express & ASP.NET v2.0 and is easy peasy. I have 2 industry related ones working with problems. Took 1/2 a day to sort out all in all.

try freelancers.net ... someone will probably build it for you for about $100!

[jamesuk28]

We did a very basic forum for a client http://www.cherishedregistrations.net only going since May and already got over 2000 members. We could do a basic site / forum / submission for around £400 all in. PM me if you want some more info. http://www.geminiwebsitedesign.co.uk

I'd like to clarify that this was tongue-in-cheek but given that some of your quotes were not far away, I realise I now should have added a zero to make it a bit more obvious!

Hope you get the cheap solution it should entail!

[535dman]

Seriously could have been taken for a ride on this one as I had no idea on costs! I'm in touch with a few members on here - thanks for all the replies! Looks like this is going to work out for me soon

Drop Altrezia a line, I'm sure he could sort something out for you.
