How would I go about creating a forum system in ASP .NET similar to that of this site? Did you create this forum system Dani? Any tips for me? Thanks, help is greatly appreciated.

The ASP.NET Forums is a product of the hard work from many people. Unless your some genious, you wouldn't be able to create a brand new Forums system, in the time it has taken for the ASP.NET Forums (a few months...). The ASP.NET Forums are open source, so it could be valuable to you to view it's code.
If you want to take on the challenge, go for it ;-). I'll be here to answer questions :)

thanks :) I downloaded the source code, I haven't had a look at it yet but I will soon. Am I allowed to modify it, but still leave the "Powered by asp .net forums" logo there somewhere?

Another one, how to I import the project files, I am getting errors for some of them. The web one is the main one I would like to get into though, so I can change the aspx files to suit my sites design.

Hello;

BUT
Please help me
- There is a problem in the Post added. Title only saves at the right place and saves in a specific subject elsewhere is not required.
2 - the database does not accept the Arabic language
