    When I create a table, it contains default information. If I click on the default information it does not let me edit it. I can’t find anywhere to edit it.

    I was using the free version first. Once I am happy with the product I will buy.

    I have now switched to another developer’s product, and this one works fine for my needs and even offers more features. When I had queries, they got back to me same day.

    Happy with my new choice.

    Thank you.

    Another key difference is that when someone comments on a blog, it keeps it position dated by the date of the original post. A forum on the other hand moves topocs to the top dated by the date of the most recent reply.

    Well for starters a fprum is divided into categories. So users can view topics within the category of their choosing. A blog is a bot more tricky in that aspect.

    Spambots are applications that run on computers and servers that target websites like this one and post all sorts of garbage like penos enlargement and timeshare and make money working from home. Almost all of this is of the nature of scams.

    Once your website is flooded with all this negative information you will be guaranteed a near total loss of visitors.

    When visitors view a blog they expect a professional and controlled content. A forum allows you to have moderators dedicated to subforums or categories. It’s more structured for this sort of aspect.

    I’ve been in the websote game since 2004 and I can tell you from experience, do it right the first time if you want a successful site. Taking short cuts will result in failure.

    I would suggest signing up to various forums and seeing what they are about and how the structure works. You don’t need to post, just look around.

    Does bbPress not have it’s own section in your Dashboard interface?

    A blog is essentially a “news” website. The news can be anything from actual news to what your cat ate for breakfast. That’s up to you.

    Letting everyone be an author opens up a host of possible problems with people (and spambots) posting junk on your site, which will result in a mass exodus of users.

    A forum is a more controlled environment. Someone posts a query, people comment and discuss. Moderators can remove posts and even black list users who are abusing the service. Result, less of an exodus when things go down.

    I hope I helped you a bit.
