Hello everybody,
I have made a small forum for my website which doesn't have much facilities. It's all about starting a thread and adding answers to it.

I tried to install some phpBB forum, as I heard it s one of the best forums in php but it's very hard for me to change its interface to that of my site.

I'm wondering if there is any framework, library, API or anything like that, which enables me to make my own forum by implementing some fancy stuffs in it.


Thank you in advance,

What kind of fancy stuff do you want to implement?

For sure nothing like this forum. I want something like inserting smileyes, enabling quoting, inserting links. Not looking for poll and so on.

It looks like you want BBCode support. You can grab the BBCode implementation in phpBB, punbb etc. By the way, punbb is a great forum script. List of PHP libraries:
