Creating Forums or Bulletin Boards in Freeway

Freeway cannot build bulletin boards or a forum-based site on its own. You will need some external code to do this.

There are bulletin boards available for most server types, and quite a few are available for free. You need to create an account on the server, and then link to the forum from your Freeway created site. One such service is provided by www.ezboard.com.

You can also download bulletin boards to install on your own server. For these to work, you normally require some form of database running, so check with your ISP about what you can use before you commit to a solution. One fairly simple bulletin board to set up is www.phpbb.com. This requires you to have PHP and MySQL running on the server. Again, you have to set this up separately from Freeway and link to it from your Freeway-created site.
