I have used this site for a while now and ive been meaning to ask this, how do you make it? i know its with PHP Nuke, but how do you use this? am i right in thinking you just get some webspace that has mysql or whatever then download php nuke from their site and upload it to your webspace, then goto install.php?? after this is it pretty straight forward to customise it? how much is it for the webspace you have? i am not going to be wanting quite as much space as you probally use on here and not wanting to pay a large price, i currently have 50 mB free space with PIPEX broadband but i dont imagine they deal with php.

PHP-Nuke has a full administration panel from where you can manage most of the site. Installing it is reasonably easy - but you will need to know how to create and populate a MySQL database. Some hosts provide tools which will automatically install Nuke and other content management system.

Customizing your site can be as simple as adding blocks or modules or sometimes you need to edit PHP code (this is where it gets diifficult!). A large amount of this site I have had to edit the PHP for to get it all to work together, all that knowledge has been gained simply by reading and deciphering pieces of the codes from other blocks and modules.

I had to purchase an entire server to host this site, because of it's popularity and you don't want to know how much it costs!

I can offer low cost hosting on the same server with auto-install of PHP-Nuke, Invision Powerboard, Post Nuke and other stuff. PM me if you want to discuss.
