So I don't handle the heavy duty ActionScript when I do flash. When it comes to the back-end stuff I hire code-monkeys to help me finish the job. But I'm doing something personal that will require a log-in forum with a possible chat box. But now I'm torn wether or not I build it in Flas or HTML. I have never done something like this before so it will be fun but which would be better? Any examples of Flash forums?

the only "forum" that I know in flash is
http://www.flickr.com/
but is not exactly forum.......
:PIn php is easier anyway

Yeah I'm upgrading my hosting to have PHP. So...sounds like I'm putting on my HTML hat.

Oh one more thing. Can anyone recommend a good Tutorial site for building forums in PHP? I'm actually working today or I'd search myself. Thanks!

Don't you have to use PHP either way? Even a Flash forum would use it, right?

phpBB plugin php forum
no "code-monkeys" needed

yeah PHPBB is really easy to install, plus you can get some alright skins for it

yeah if look and feel aren't important i'd use a ready made script like phpbb.
asking for a php forum how-to is like asking for a php manual. It's more work than you'll learn in months.....
Do you just want a shout box like this?

Oh you serious it's that bad building a forum? I'll check that site out.
Determinedmoth. Yeah I'd love to use something similiar to this chat box.
