writing forum software is not something that can easily be explained. your best bet to is download a free one and take it apart. figure out how it works. no body here is going to just type up a post on how to write a forum, it would be too long and too complicated to explain.

I would suggest that you read the General Bullitin Board Guidelines post that discusses how to ask a proper question, what type of questions will actually get answered, and it will inform you to ALWAYS search what you are looking for BEFORE you ask. Most questions have been asked and answered in these very forums.

Thanks, do you know any good sites?

No, unfortunately I don't. I had to write mine from scratch, just working on one thing at a time until it was complete.

I started with a user table and then wrote the code to add users.
Then I worked on posting thread starters. Of course, then I worked on posting the replies. Most of this was fairly simple just considering each post as a regular form to be filled out.

Then of course I just kept building on it.

Here is one of several threads discussing forum software.

As an exercise, see if you find it using the search features.
