Adding Forums to a Website

Oct 19, 2005 1:20AM PDT

Is there any free way to add forums to a website? I don't know any programming (apart from very basic html), so I want it to be simple.
Thank's for your time,
O.R.

Try Proboards. They are really good all-around as far as ease of use and customizing. I have about 4 of them out there right now, they're totally free.

You can either imbed the board in a frame based site, or just add an external link to your board from your main site.

Cheers!
