Hi Andrian, I built a forum from scratch, because I had very specific needs on how it would work... different to everything I've seen so far. Sorry to say it though, the underlying table structure IS determined by the way you want it to work. If you're after something stock-standard, I'd recommend checking out the systems already available for free (it's been discussed many times). For starters, they're ready to go, so you'll save MANY hours. Or if they don't end up being what you want: a) the underlying db structure & code may give you some ideas for your own b) you may be able to help/contribute to make the product better, since it's probably open source, and developed by a community of contributors. If you some specific ideas on what you want to achieve, I might be able to make some suggestions.
