I run a small videogames codes website and for some time have wanted to add a discussion forum to it so my visitors can post their own codes and talk about games. I don't know anything much about php and my host (angelfire) doesn't host php anyway. Are there any forums i could get that are hosted and use php (i tried myikonboard but it didn't work properly and it didn't have many features, also would like it to be php coz its fast). One other thing it needes to be free, i don't mind if it displays a banner ad.
Any ideas, thanks

There are some remotely hosted CGI ones listed here, I'm not aware of any PHP ones that are free and remote hosted

Not sure you can change the banner if you use that free hosting service can you Dave?
