How to Create a Forum / Message Board

[Drew47AT]

Excuse me, I wish to know how to set up a discussion board on YouTube so that others can come to me and discuss their views on a situation.

[thone2008]

thanks, luv your tutorial ps you sound like lela from futurama bye.

[Pinoyicious]

Can I edit my templates if I use simplemachinesforum?

[ThePsychology2010]

What's cheaper? Getting vbulletin or getting phpbb + webhosting at webmaster and having to pay additional fees for SSL, spams etc? I'm asking, because it seems like with webhosting, they ask if you want to buy SSL, SEO when vbulletin can provide you with those free.

[s3analvar3z]

it wouldn't let me create an account. I wish there was a short version of this. I'm just in lazy mode right now though. To lazy to sit threw it atm. I want to learn the coding myself to input in my own style of forum. Create my own. Not threw other websites. Do you know of any places I can get that info?

[sirnubenegra]

get to it! 

[SaladGeek]

Lisa your tutorials are phenomenal, I've subscribed and I hope that you make more and more websites.

[spaceagedavid]

I think she means to say "Forum" not "Form".

[shinyygengar]

What's the catch with Website Palace? I took a look at it and the prices are a jaw dropping low! almost only $2.00 for a domain FOR ONE YEAR. GoDaddy is $10....Why all the low prices??

[TechTheHelper]

@shinyygengar comment as approval? so your one of lisa alt...

[maya4606]

Hey lisa, i really like your speaking voice. Very clear concise and honest.

Thanks for the great tips.

[sophisticate5]

Thanks so much for this, this was excellent. When I purchase I will be going through your affiliate link. I am also going to your site websitebabble. Great Work!

[ultradude100]

Is a forum where people can come to the site and create there own account?

[TheThunderChimp]

Oh, I have a question too. On vBulletin, they have two plans for you to choose from: First there's 4.0 Forum (which is about 200$) and then there's 4.0 Publishing Suite (around 300$). I don't really understand what's the difference. Is it just for posting news or Blogs? Does it increase your capability of changing your forum? Thanks in advance!

[faizan130]

Hi, Lisa..I have a question.

How to earn a money on fourm without ads?

[matthewsutubechannel]

i use phpbb3 at the moment, whats your thought on bbpress? im thinking of installing bbpress to my buddypress wp mu, installation. Would it be smart to use bbpress or stay phpbb3? With my phpadmin?

[lisa3876]

I've only used phpbb3 so I can't really comment on the others. Sorry. :(

[0TANDRE7]

Hi Lisa, thanks for the Ebook. I can't believe I got all that info for free.

Just wanted to know...

Can forums be Integrated with SBI?

Thanks again!

[lisa3876]

Not without additional costs. If you want a forum with SBI! it's really best to also get a subscription to a regular host and map that forum to your SBI domain (there are instructions). It's because of the SiteSell technical limitations.

[elWHATcom]

that's GODADDY. websitepalace is where you earn comission when people buy stuff.

[CityStylzUSA]

Hey Lisa, I currently have 2 sites. one for business, and one informational. However, i'm using network solutions to host. Do you know of any pros and or cons using them vs any other? What considerations should be taken into account when researching host sites?

[lisa3876]

Other than the fact they are one of the most expensive hosts out there, there's nothing wrong with them. They are a reputable company and one of the first hosting companies. These days, hosts offer very similar features, so it really comes down to reputation and price. Hostgator is one of my faves. You can host multiple domains with one account.

[turnbacktime]

for the license that i have to purchase in order to get vbulletin, does this mean i have to renew the license after a specific amount of time. is it possible to buy the application without have to renew... i'm confused.. lol... can you explain this in a nutshell for me. is the renewing only to receive the updates? it doesnt explain this clearly on their site.

[lisa3876]

You can buy it and not renew after a year but you won't be able to get the latest versions anymore. vBulletin is always coming out with new upgrades/versions so paying the renewal will always give you access to the latest. The renewal is only like $30 or $40 I believe.

[nmr20067]

Hey Lisa I am looking for good Hosting that will atke multipe Domain names. What and were can I get this Hosting. I do not buy through you link.

thanks

[lisa3876]

Hostgator is a great host for multiple domains.

[nmr20067]

Thanks

[McEvan13]

Hey I was wondering when you buy vBulletin Owned License do you get to keep it forever ?

[lisa3876]

You have to renew it every year if you want to keep getting the product updates/upgrades and it's like $30 something per year. But you don't have to keep renewing. I always do though because they are constantly improving the forum features.

[dtman83]

Lisa, I want to thank you. Your advice from 2createawebsite really helped me, and I've received my first Google Adsense check. I should be getting my second one soon! Thank you Thank You Thank You!!!

[lisa3876]

Excellent! I love good news! Keep those checks comin'!

[kavmiester]

hey lisa i was wondering if you have ever wondered of making a video on creating a gaming site such as runescape,w.o.w ect.

thanks, kavmiester

[lisa3876]

If you can find a gaming script you like, it's really not much different than setting up a forum. Once you have the script, upload the gaming files to your web host and configure them accordingly. Your first step is finding a gaming script or you can have a programmer develop it for you.

[tomtimex]

Do you have a website?? I love your vids!!!!!

[lisa3876]

Thanks, I do. Check my YouTube channel homepage. (I'd put it here but you can't put website addresses in YouTube comment forms)

[tomtimex]

Thanks!!!!

[myricleryda]

Your forum blasting help is good info thanks lisa

[Gwame]

I use Fantastico to automatically install scripts (such as forums), since my webhost uses cPanel. :D

[lisa3876]

I LOVE Fantastico and use it for my other site. I'll be glad when my reseller store gets it.

[Gwame]

That's partially why I prefer cPanel hosts. They have the most features, providing you know how to use them. Although it costs a host $2500 to put cPanel on their server...

[iSpeakApple]

Can i Do This For Blogger D0t c0m

[lisa3876]

No, blogger is not a web host. It only supports blogs. You need a standard web hosting (Linux) plan in order to setup a forum.

[avelx]

Normally any good hosting service will provide you with a good forum tool just one click away. But I still love the tutorial.

[lisa3876]

That's what I explained near the beginning. The company I recommended here has the one-click install. It just took me a while to get to that point. LOL

[HudgensAnneVanessa]

Thanks ;** Really Helped
