creating php based forums

[dknapp1]

Is there a faq, notes, or instructions somewhere that illustrate how I can go about creating php forums?

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about writing something from scratch or just picking from the multitude of existing forum software?

Well, I've managed to figure out how to get phpbb started, are there any other sites or faqs that describe how to do things like customize the colors?

Thanks!

There are thousands of pre-built themes to choose from so that you don't need to change the colours yourself, you just pick a theme that looks the way you want it to look from the database at:
