How did you code this website so quickly? I would expect hours, at least, if not days. How?!

To make a forum you install the forum software via FTP upload to your domain, from there you use a panel to edit certain settings and add certain features.

Instead, I am using forumotion.com, which hosts PhpBB3 Olympus forum software and I just designed a few icons and button and uploaded them in through a simple admin interface, which is child's play.

The main site was just developed from scratch using a CSS stylesheet I wrote and then HTML for the content and text.

I uploaded the HTML and resources to 110mb.com which is a free domain hosting site that supports most file types such as CSS files, Javascript files and Php. 110mb.com gives each user 5GB of website storage, so that's always handy, it has it's own FTP connection so that makes uploading mass files much easier.

Hope I helped, feel free to ask more and I can give you almost any code you need.

... WOW. That sounded long and technical.
I think I got the main points, of course.
Umm. So you upload a program that helps to program and design the page. Wow. Gosh... I am such an oldie. Haha. I used to memorize that stuff... when I was like, thirteen. Of course, I'm fifteen now, so it's not much of a difference. That's beside the point, though.

You upload forum software, not a program. A program is an application that is made by installing software, not all software makes programs.
