Need help creating a forum

I have already created a forum, but i am not happy with it. I need a forum that can add 'Ranks' at the bottom. Our current only has [ Administrator ] and [ Moderator ], but it does not allow me to add more. Does anybody know a forum hosting site that allows me to do this?

 

 

 

Thanks.

you are looking for the "extend ranks" mod, I once saw a phpbb host that has it, but you're better off with a server, or at least a host with php.

Right... So it turns out my forum host isn't very reliable... it goes down everyday. Anybody know a good host that i can use?

I'd use 1&1. They have web hosting with everything you'll need (Your own domain, as well) starting at about $4/month. If you can pay for that, it's probably your best bet (I use them, and their service is really nice)..

Well, you might as well get server space somewhere on a server that has PHP support, aka a MySQL database, and simply set up the forum from scratch. The PhpBB forum is free, so it's not that hard to set it up, just requires a FTP program, a little bit of FTP knowledge and server space.

Depends, if you are willing to pay for hosting, just set up a phpBB forum on your host.

 

 

 

If you don't mind paying a lot, you could use IPB 2.2

 

 

 

Or if you just want a free host, I recommend Jcink Forum Service. The support is great, and the features are just, wow.

Or Fantastico to do it for you. ;)

 

Honestly mate buy some webspace or buy a forum host and a domain. Free hosted forums always fail...

google "free host with php", you will get many results. a good bit of them are [bad], but eventually you may find something. download phpbb from phpbb.com, upload, run install.php/config.php? then google "phpbb extend rank color mod", follow the directions and you're done!
