There are many people who need to set up forums to exchange and study. Not only is the place to learn and share knowledge, the forum is also a place for people to chat, play and entertain.

Forums and structures

- Vbulletin (www.vbulletin.org, www.vbulletin.com): This is the most popular forum type today, written in many PHP languages. Almost all major forums, densely populated networks use this forum structure. Vbulletin is a forum that is considered to be the most functional, you can flexibly customize the interface structure and have high security.

- Invision Power Board (www.invisionpower.com): This forum is written in PHP language, but in terms of features, the type of Invision Power Board is not as much as Vbulletin in terms of operation as well as security. Perhaps because of that, the popularity is not in the form of the Vbulletin structure.

How to post a reply

When joining any forum, you need to read the rules of that forum and follow the rules outlined. Marking Vietnamese is the first and mandatory requirement of any forum in Vietnam. Almost all websites in general and all existing forums use Unicode fonts, so it is not difficult to type Vietnamese. Most forums integrate Vietnamese percussion, making it easy to type Vietnamese without installing any additional software. If you do not like to use the built-in input method on the forum, you can install the Vietnamese typing software like UniKey or VietKey.

Search before asking questions on the forum. All forums have a search function and use this function to find the problem you need to know. Almost all new members get this error!

Search subject name should be brief and clear. Every forum is clearly divided into categories, so when creating a new topic or asking a question, it is required that you submit the article in the right place and the right topic. When you want to create a new topic, go to the category you want to create and click the Create topic or New Thread button . On forums, it is often forbidden to send topics like help , help with , urgently , what's wrong .
