How to make a forum like this?
 

What software was used to make this forum?

How hard is it to learn to use for someone that doesn't code?

Where would I go to get it and what does it cost?

I think YABB is free. It's all included. At the very bottom of the page is the link to the webstie ( http://yabb.xnull.com ). You don't need to code, all the source is free. Although I reccomend PHPBB (FREE Also) ( http://www.phpbb.com )

I know that the YA in YABB stands for Yet Another but what does the PHP in PHPBB stand for? j/w?

PHP is a scripting language in itself ( http://www.php.net ) it's my main language, I mean, my random image in my sig is actually a link to a php script I made that does a binary load of the random image off the server.

oh so it doesnt stand for anything? didnt know that...and might i add that that random image php script is a very wise thing to do...can the cylce hold infinite amount of pics or is it limited to a certain #?

as far as I know, it has no limit, but if theirs like thousands of images it might take a while to load the way it works (loads the directory into an array, and selects a random number in the array varable $images[<random number>];

the loading into the array might tke a while if theirs lots of images.

The script will require a server that has PHP installed. And you will have to know how to operate it, if you have a server with php installed, I can post the source code here.

oh no...its ok...i dont wanna steal ur idea...thanks though!  Yeah i was kinda leaning towards some kinda array code for the images to cycle...neat....definatlely neat!  ;D

ok, yabb refuses to parse the source correctly. so here's the link to the source...
