where can i get a good messages board like invision power board, e-blah platninum or phpbb2 and that does not have a login and no ads and is very custimisable??????/

you mean those remote hosted one?

the best free, no ad forum board I know is

http://www.forumer.com/

unfortunately they are not accepting registration at this moment..they offer very customizable invision boards with 3 installed skins.

others I know contains ads, but ads displayed on it are not that annoying like....

http://www.invisionfree.com/
http://www.proboards.com/

or make good posts here....request hosting, and you have your very own preinstalled phpbb board under your account...

Definetely recommend InvisionFree, because they have less ads, and you can pay for removal, at Proboards, you can't.

If you manage to get a hosting account here at Astahost, you can easily install a message board like phpBB and Invision. You don't get ads (in fact u can even put in your own ads), you can customise and change the design, be your own admin, etc.

And also, by what I saw in the package list, since the MySQL databases are unlimited, you can hold as many different boards(In different folders), as only the size of them limits you!

I have an IPB right now, up and running great. The Cpanel might be confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's good. I've got a Halo skin up and running right now. If you want to check it out, here's the link:

Have yo ever thought about SMF www.simplemachines.org, i host it here and its great also request on there community and then ask on the hosts board and someone will host it ad free for you.

Me, I usually don't trust another person with hosting my boards unless it is a company server.

Most of these people own hosting companys, but some people are more stable than companies because there isnt much chnace of rogue users.

Can't you host your own if you have this hosting service? I thought that this host came with Cpanel and therefore Fantastico (I'm not sure since I am still waiting for my hosting application to approved of). When you log into Cpanel there is a link saying Fantastico and then Install IPB 1.3 or something to the nature of that.
