Can anyone suggest where i can find out how to add a chat forum such as this one to my website? I'm currently hosting my own site on redhat9.0 but will be switching to SUSE 9.0 soon.

Thanks in advance
Chris

hey! YaBB2 is also a fantastic forum software, and it runs using perl rather than php and *sql. Always good to have more than one option.

ikonboard isnt bad, but i found it a bit slower then phpBB. It uses perl as well as YaBB

YaBB uses php doesn't it? and YaBB2 is a port of it to perl? that confused me for a second when i was trying to find perl boards for my music site.

Eh. Both YaBB and YaBB2 (the one that's currently in-development) are written in Perl. What you're thinking of is YaBBSE, a PHP/SQL port of YaBB.

My forum runs YaBB, even though the urge to switch to PhpBB comes up every once in a while. I think I will follow up on that urge one day.

One thing that I wish this phpBB had was a way to look at all messages within the last x days defaulting to the previous 1 day. You can view messages since last logon but if you log off and back on that pointer is updated and you then see no new messages. I like that option but I would also like the option to view the last day of message traffic sorted by reverse time (newest first). I guess I do have the source and it would probably be an easy hack. Hmmmm. Anyone else interested in this, would it be worth my while?

Void, could you check your PM?

Just another option. I use Invision PowerBoard on my servers. It's powered by PHP/MySQL as well and there's a nice portal for it floating around out there to called IBP (I think) I like it alot. Wanted to throw a few more options out there.

Aye. I've used IB before--it's also very nice. Much like PhpBB, except it's not OSS, and feels a bit less of a "everything but the kitchen sink" forum.
