I really love the way the dplogin forums are set up and i wanted to know how it was made? do you guys use dreamweaver? or is it all scripting? i wanted to make my own forum for my churches website, so of course mine will differ like i dont need people to login to do so and i wont prolly have voting and such i jus need to make a basic forum using dreamweaver, any help?

Go to www.simplemachines.org and download the forum package and then extract it.
Go to a free web hosting website like 000webhost.com and get the FTP details.
Get a FTP Client like FileZilla and upload the forum package to the FTP.
Go to the web link, and run the installation, log in as the Admin and add boards and categories.

There is a lot of work that goes into writing a forum from scratch.  I would highly suggest downloading SMF instead of trying to code your own.
