Anyone knows how to create a forum for the persons who do not have much computer knowledge?

Are there any easy way to make one?

in my opinion, vbulletin is the best, .. however it costs $. i recently setup a PHPBB forum and it went pretty smooth. best of all it's free. just make sure you use the latest version if you do.

phpBB has a history of security vulnerabilities, so you really need to keep on top of it.

Always lots to look at at hotscripts.com

XMB,Phorum, as mentioned phpBB,Invision (nice, but I don't like their license)..

There was another really small forum package that I liked, but can't remember the name.. It certainly didn't have all the features of the big dogs, but was pretty slick and seriously fast. ack.. (maybe "Freeb")

Although k4 bb looks interesting with AJAX.

Best bet is to install some and see how you like them.
