hello, I am new to HTML programming, and all i know how to do is images, text, backgrounds, links, and font stuff.<br />
so i was wondering, is it possible for me to make a forum on my website?<!--content-->sure! you ready to learn PHP or ASP, plus MySQL?<br />
<br />
best to Download <!--more--> one. <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.phpbb.com">www.phpbb.com</a><!-- w --> or <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.invisionboard.com">www.invisionboard.com</a><!-- w --> are the best free ones on the 'net.<!--content-->try these too!<br />

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ikonboard.com">http://www.ikonboard.com</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
but to set up these forum take some skills too! And you web space provider MUST meet some requirements, such as supporting mysql, php, ftp, cgi, asp...!!!<br />
<br />
if you are bored of setting up a forum (just like the first time I want to get a forum for my web site), then try these<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.proboards.com">http://www.proboards.com</a><!-- m --><br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hyperboard.com">http://www.hyperboard.com</a><!-- m --><br />
<br />
they are remoted-host forum, in other word, all you have to do is to sign up and they will set up your board immediately after you signed up<br />
<br />
the catch is that they place so many ads on your boards!!!:D <br />
<br />

Invision Board<br />
Elite Boards<br />
<br />
EB (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.eliteboards.com/">http://www.eliteboards.com/</a><!-- m -->)<br />
IB (invisionfree.com)<!--content-->I'm registered at Proboards<br />
<br />
What I find strange is that so many guys at proboards are registered at elite boards. Can anyone explain that to me?<!--content-->Hi again, i've got a problem.<br />
I am putting this forum on a school website, (Not yet up on the Internet)and I need to be able to keep it clean. Is that possible?<br />
Also, how would I moderate a remotely placed forum?<br />
Please help.<!--content-->http://invisionfree.com/forums/programmers<!--content-->i'm not familiar with all boards, but most of them i believe have some sort of option where you can specify words that will not show up, or show up like this: *****. this allows you to keep certain words from the boards. of course, everyone finds a way around it, and will start spelling their words wrong, or with spaces in between..<br />
<br />
its possibly to moderate most boards remotely, because the administrator can log in like any other user, but has more tools at his disposal. the board will allow you to set user levels and such, which give people certain privledges.<!--content-->hey!<br />
THere is a thing where you can blank out bad words<br />
nice<!--content-->sure! you ready to learn PHP or ASP, plus MySQL? <br />
Wait, how do i do that?<br />
Do i just Download <!--more--> it and run it?<!--content-->
