hi pcmagic, I have dreamweaver aswell and use it to make and edit my sites, It is a good program to use for beginners to experts allthough I think you should learn some html as it will come in handy for certain stuff. As for making forums I am afraid this is not the easiest thing in the world and forums are useually programmed with php so if you really did want one I would suggest using a free one like yy2.com (owned by the admin of these forums)
