I am very limited in knowledge when it comes to coding etc. How difficult is it to start a forum and what software should I use? I have a fanpage on FB that has a million people and they are asking for a forum to come to chat about the niche. Any tips?

    Hi,

    phpbb is free : phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

    or vBulletin is paid : https://www.vbulletin.com/

    If you search google, it will show up loads of other alternatives.

    Hope this helps

    It's not that hard to start a forum, one of the top choice of software is vBulletin, all you need is find a web host, buy the software and install it yourself or hire someone to do it for you. Good luck with your forum!

    Starting a forum will not be so much of a problem than getting members in. When you get members in you need to make them participate. Wish you all the best!

    Try using Simple Machines, it is free, simple to use and there are many themes available to customize it.
