Hi
I'm in the proccess of building a website to help fellow 'Old Fogies' like my self who find it difficult in todays technicval world we live in. Too many of us are getting Scamed out of our hard earned savings just because we don't understand a few basic rules of the Internet and other basic communication devices.

I've tride to put a lot of different catogaries on the site but I'm worried people will come up with plenty of different problems I haven't thought of including within the catogaries section. So I wanted to start a forum where people can come and tell the community what there problem is and other people who've been in similar situation can then explain how they delt with the problem. But there's nothing in the 'Online Tutorials' about adding one of these into the website.

Is it possible to add this as an add-on or will I have to use a 'third party' software to achieve this and if I have to use someonme elses software can I add it into WYSIWYG Web builder software.

Thanks a lot.

A forum is a very complicated thing and you will need to use a 3rd party program.

There are free (ex: phpbb) and paid (ex: phpjabbers) options out there. Both of which should work well with WB.

This forum uses https://www.phpbb.com
It is independent of WYSIWYG Web builder software and is installed in its own folder on the server.
You can of course link to it from a WWB page.
I installed phpbb some time ago and it was pretty easy to setup so I recommend it.
PHPbb is free software so you can always try it.

@Crispy68, you beat me to it.

If you don't want to install and maintain your own, there are free ones that are OK. I use https://www.createmybb4.com/freemybbhosting.php

phpbb is one of the best this forum is based on it too. Other than that there are some other forums but depends on what kind of functionalities and features you need it to have. See this post viewtopic.php?t=94934
