Forum design for music website

I have just created a phpBB bulletin board or forum for my music website. Click here to visit the mu-sik forum.

I installed it using Fantastico which I have on my host’s cPanel. I chose the prosilver phpBB theme which was close to the look I was trying to achieve. This meant tweaking a few of the HTML template pages and uploading a new header image.

Similar to WordPress, phpBB is an open source CMS written in PHP programming language and backed by a MySQL database. In English, this means that it’s free and it runs websites.

I prefer SMF forum to PHPBB and both come with fantastico. There are a lot of great themes on SMF out there. The one I’m using on my bodybuilding forum is just babylon which is one of the defaults, but I like babylon.

Yes, I like your babylon theme and the SMF forum. It’s a personal choice but I like phpBB with the prosilver theme. Getting a successful forum working the way you have it isn’t easy and you deserve the upmost praise for what you have done.

Nice simple look. I’ve thought about starting a forum over the years, but it seems like a lot of work. Best of luck with your.

Hi, can anyone tell me why I’m getting so many weird off-topic comments on this post?

Nothing seems to be easier than seeing someone whom you can help but not helping.
I suggest we start giving it a try. Give love to the ones that need it.
God will appreciate it.
