Hi

I am looking to build a website with a forum, I have no real technical experience but am happy to use online building software e.g mr site, unfortunately I haven't found that provides a good forum. I want the forum to run in the main site, no ads but it must have some advanced options like informing users that a post has been replied to etc etc. Mr Site does not allow for this.

Can anybody suggest a company or software, that can do these things while allowing me to build and manage the whole site over the net.

I like the forum on this (webuser) site allowing me to add faces etc etc, what type of forum is this(sorry for my ignorance!!) Something like this would be ideal, how do i get one.

Thanks in advance
