A forum, or community section, is an easy way to add useful content to your web site with very little effort. First of all, let's define what a forum is. A forum is a place for users to hold discussions on various topics. It is interactive, i

According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product

n other words users can both read postings and post items themselves. Let me give you a half fictional example of a forum in action.

Forum Thread, Subject UFC in Canada on a Mixed Martial Arts site.
[USER1] Has anyone heard that the UFC

[USER2] Yes, I heard that. In fact, I heard that George St Pierre will be on the card and it will be at the Bell Center.

So, you can see that the web master has gotten some valuable content with no work on his/her part. The users are able to ask questions and respond to them

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

. Once the forum is set up initially and you've found a way to get traffic to your forum, it becomes a perpetual content machine, generating useful content for your web site and hopefully in the process some revenue based on some sort of ad o

[USER1] Thanks again for the help! Once I get my forum up and running, I'll post the URL here for you to take a look at.

There are two driving factors which make forums popular. The first is what drives the posters/

Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?

Which therapeutic categories to select?
Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?

When making the decision of paid vs free software, it's always important to figure out what kind of user you are (experienced vs novice), how much hand holding you require and of course if the paid version reall

Support can also be an issue to be considered, with some smaller open source projects it can be difficult to find help and/or expertise. I haven't personally used vBulletin, but I have read seve

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

There are currently two version of phpBB, 2.0.x which is a stable, production ready release, and phpBB 3.0 which is still in the beta stage and is looking good. For now, I would recommend installing 2.x and look to 3.0 in the near future
