I need a programmer who can create a forum on my pre-exisiting website SeeThefeelings The forum should allow user to create user names and passwords, if a member of the site has forgotten their user name and/or password they can simply enter there email address and be notified via email. I should have the ability to delete inappropriate threads and members who are not following the terms of use. I want the forum to be a part of my site, following the same layout and menu bar, I do not want a third party forum or something that takes users to another page. I can supply you with the psd file and/or html file.

You can get all you want from free forum software like Wordpress which does enable you to insert a section inside your webpage and style it to match your page
http://wordpress.org/
(phpbb3 http://www.phpbb.com/ is a separate page with skins to choose).

All the code is downloaded and installed automatically but you then have to set up your options and forum categories via the admin; you shouldn't have to mess with the php code except once at the very beginning in a very minor way.

You will almost certainly need to install a mod or two, there are hundreds but you may have to wait for a spammer, determine what sort of spammer you have, then choose a mod to suit from advice on a forum about the mods.
