Wanted: Service Pre built/hosted forums

[Laird Mobi]

Hi anyone recommend a good prebuild and hosted forum, that is fully customisable???? I have already tried Proboards and there quite slow to load up and unrealiable. Any free ones would be good or at least very cheap, i dont want too chuck too many notes away!

Cheers in advance for you assist.

i use forumer.com/

for my shed talk site http://shedtalk.1.forumer.com/

its was a bit flaky at the start but has been fine for the last few months, the only downside is i can't at the moment get a data export. :-(

regards

Sorry to be a bit stupid here, but whats a data export? I am new to all this web stuff! Your reply will be greatly received, oh and by the way is it free to use?

 

[unclewilco]

so that you can backup your data locally so if you wanted to set up your own forum on your own server once it has established itself, you dont have to start from scratch..like i will have to :-(

yes its free..
