    I want to have a forum on a website, where I can use the login, registration and sessions right throughout mysite. Are there any forums which can easily do this and also one where no tables are used?

    You will be needing a database, otherwise you're looking at either a big headache or a very small forum.

    Ha Ha I didn't mean database tables, of course I'll be using a database for my forum. I meant where the content isn't displayed using tables. (Unless it's in a situation where tables are appropriate).

    Ah. Heh. Any time I have seen that particular request before it always refered to a database. Cue a red face here.

    I amn't sure but I think forums is one of the few places that tables are acceptable.

    In my mind a forum ... is a listing of data as such its acceptable to have tables in it ... and would probably be a nightmare to create without tables (I know someone will post in a while with a link to something else)

    I'd probably recommend vBulletin ... which costs a few quid though but feels great ..
