Hello
Sorry to bother you. I found this forum when looking through google for forums to use. I need
to install a forum on my church website but I cannot find where it is sold.

Where did you get this one

Thanks for any assistance

Hi Nancy,

At the bottom of the page it says 'Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group'. So I'm presuming that means the forum runs on phpBB :)

The website for phpBB is http://www.phpbb.com/, the forum software is a free (and open source). Your web hosting account will need to support PHP (and I'm guessing a database such as MYSQL) to run the software. If you're webhosting does not support PHP but supports something else, such as ASP.NET there is other free forum software available.

Hopefully I didn't confuse you then. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
