sct_snake Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 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.

sct_snake Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Forgot to mention about needing it to be PHPBB based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodredsword Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 You arn't going to be able to find many Free hosted php sites....you're going to find the more "cool" stuff on homemade php forums and pay to use forums. Hope that helps, Brs Listen to the mighty words of Bloodredsword. Tip it MGC Xbox live leader board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2d2 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 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.

Thanks. 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bac_Talan Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 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).. I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.Pics or it didn't happen. I hate my generation.

guthix121 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Do you use this host? http://www.forumer.com/ I am planning on starting a forum next week with it. Own a forum?

deejay_hr Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 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. Need a countdown?

SomeWelshGuy Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sct_snake Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Ok, thanks guys. But i don't think i really want to buy, as it's just for my clan. Do you use this host? http://www.forumer.com/ I am planning on starting a forum next week with it. Yeas i am using forumer. I don't recommend it though.

r2d2 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 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!
