: Hi
: I am with the Recreational Canoeing Association of B.C. and we are
: looking for a forum format that our members can use. Is there
: one you can recommend?
: It is a confusing world out there with way too many choices for me
: to figure out.
: thanks
: don
: (are any of the freeware versions worth considering?)

Do you want to self-host or have your forum hosted ? Self-hosting offers more flexability & customising, but takes more to administer. PHPBB (www.phpbb.com) has a very popular & full-featured free forum, but it is not for the faint-hearted to setup & administer. Brian's suggestion may be a simpler & better alternative. Alternatively, there are sites out there that offer free forum hosting & pre-configured forum software. www.proboards.com is one of many.

Regards,

Phil.
