I'm looking to setup a PHP forum for my website, but don't know which one to go for? Any free one that is good (in your opinion)? Thanks

Use search engine to find more "php forum software"

PHP-Nuke is not forum!!! It is content management system that contains forum also. I think Gurluver asking about stand-alone forum software. But if you need cms'es my suggestions: Mambo/joomla, Php-Fussion, PHP-nuke

By the way fusion is realy easy to learn

I think that you should install the one from cpanel i think that it is phpbb

Or you could use the ones that are already there in Fantastico.

thanks guys

. I used to use phpbb n ipb (when they were free), haven't been admin-ing forums for quiet sometimes, and i thought there might be some new forums, but it looks like nothing much changed ^.^
i think i'll stick with phpbb like before.
