From the last week, I began to participate in the forum circle, from building a website to getting to know some Forum owners, and I have a basic understanding of the Forum, after a week of operation, I personally experience that the forum is not a personal task. here, I strongly recommend that the novice webmaster not to play with the forum, but to train himself from blogging, why did I join the operation Forum? Please continue reading ......

The original intention of making a Forum

I started from the fashion news site to the blog, and operated many sites before and after. To some extent, the operation was still very good, especially in rankings. That's why I chose to be a forum. to a certain extent, I was influenced by the hacking war. I went on to make a forum at my friend's suggestion, from purchasing a domain name to creating a forum, the experience here is different. To be honest, you can learn a lot in the forum and make some technical friends. this is the truth, but is it really suitable for new users to create forums?

Forum is different from information

Forum preparation is similar to blogging. The Rise and Fall of a forum depends on popularity. the success of any forum is undoubtedly dependent on the quality of the Forum and the cooperation of teams. The Battle-alone Forum will soon die. First, the positioning of the forum, no matter how much information you have done on the forum, is still dead if no member posts in the forum to form a group, this is also why the author said that the forum is no better than the blog and information site. the Forum is a BBS where exchanges are made. All the functions and services of the forum must be in place, and network promotion is required. the natural traffic cannot meet the development requirements of the Forum.

Difficulties in Forum Building

There are many difficulties in Forum Construction. here I will solve the problems during Website construction one by one. I hope it will be helpful to the novice webmaster. skip this step for senior Forum owners.

Select the program sequence: it is only for the novice webmaster, and the installation program is a big difficulty. of course, the installation will basically succeed according to the tutorial, and the write and database of site permissions involved. I did not hesitate to choose the discuz program when building the site. Why didn't I choose phpwind? The main reason is that phpwind has been acquired and reorganized, and he is not optimistic about the future development. Lu Songsong's blog also mentioned this.

Dashboard and plug-in: I have to vomit here. the discuz template is rather ugly and has a poor user experience. It is very difficult to select a template when you locate the website Theme. The main reason is that there are few templates for free and the program is not perfect. I have tried 6 templates at the beginning, no doubt, they are all deleted. Payment templates are still acceptable, but they are very expensive and will not be purchased by novice webmasters, including me. I don't have this idea at all. As for the service, I won't bother with it, you must purchase the service before you can enjoy it ...... The water is deep and I can only float. There are many plug-ins, but there are not many useful ones. many plug-ins are not suitable for SEO, and some have to be paid. I have installed a plug-in: QQ interconnection, A plug-in that can log on to the forum after using QQ. After using it, you can immediately delete it because it cannot implement this function. For more information, see the tutorial on the Internet.

About DIY: The Forum has DIY design, and any template will have DIY design, mainly for the user experience. The design of homepage N cells is also a very good interactive design, but none of the templates is a pitfall. I have made some nice changes by myself, but I still have many problems due to incompatibility with various browsers.

Conclusion

If you want to make a very good forum, you must prepare enough money and time. it is really difficult to find a few partners and do it by yourself! If you don't want to waste time, go to a good template provider to customize a template. The free forum template is a waste of effort. Now I want to talk about it here. I hope that the majority of new users can start from blogs or news sites and stick to writing things and build up and grow. this is my personal experience and hope to help you, thanks for following the author's blog.
