ok bio_man
thanks for the help.
would let you know what i came up with.
I do want to see the end result. What's this forum for? Is it science-related? What are your goals for starting?
I just want to put up a place for discussing and asking questions and answers related to mathematics.
smf with its less page loading time has been the best option for me. Earlier tried to do it with wordpress and Disquss comment system but the speed and flexibility smf offers is far above what is offered anywhere by any free software.
http://www.question2answer.org/this is perfect open source solution for asking questions and answers. But slow loading times and the support threads are also not so active as smf.
THe dictionary feature that I wanted to incorporate was to help people memorize certain words that are essential to excel in some B School exams(in India)
so my requirements were.
1.) to put up a place to discuss the tutorials prepared by me.
2.) to put up a discussion platform where people with same interests can interact.(queries related to exams and preparation)
3.) to put up a platform to enable users ask questions and answers related to a particular subject.
4.) to put up a dictionary feature (very similar to what you have on biology-forums) to enable memorizing those words easily.
that is all my as far as goals for starting are concerned.
smf with its awesome support and flexibility has been the best choice for me.
