Hello I am strike also known as Jack from Hash-tag media or Crash! FM. Anyway I am in need of some support when it comes to forum coding. I use a drop and drag website called Webnode to build and maintain my website. the online program allows for coding. I can code my self however I can't code for a forum. I would like to add a forum to the current site but I don't no were to start. if anyone could help me either code or point me in the direction of a free embeddable forum creator that would be great
 
which is best and can i embed the code into the website

oh and is it free
 
Both software are free. You don't embed them, you install them on your hosting account. People prefer different things, if you have no experience with this sort of thing then I suggest MyBB
 
ok so i have the code and now trying to create the forum themed with my site help again
 
Alright, I'll bite.

To code a theme for a forum, you need to code. WYSIWYG editors have a lovely tendancy to make very unreadable code and very messy code. Future developers will *hate* that.

To create a theme, all you really need is some CSS and some HTML knowledge. PHP knowledge is a plus, but not really necessary.

And, because I want to help you get this done, without rendering any assistance at all, what forum software are you using?
 
forum software i am using a downloaded phpBB 3.0 software on Dreamweaver
 
You are just going to have to read the code, understand it and learn it. If you know HTML, CSS and a bit of PHP you won't have any problems.
 
You should be able to get by with your knowledge of HTML/CSS. It's really not that difficult to adjust a base theme. Once the phpbb board is installed, there's really no challenge. You may not understand the PHP from a structural standpoint, but it should be pretty straightforward to read. You can alter things from your administrator control panel on your board (under the Styles tab).

When in doubt, experiment.
 
yes however, my hosts will not and can't allow installation of a forum I have to have the code of the entire forum in one hit
 
Yeah there not a host for forums but for websites I don't have much control until I find a Cheper host I am stuck on webnode
