http://WWWBoard

found at Matt's Script Archive works well and is in use on lots of sites. I've used it on several sites. You need to know if your ISP/Host domain can handle CGI.<br>

Thank you, I have this downloaded, but when I try to use it, I get this message, any idea why? I have the perl files in my cgi-cin directory, is there anything I need to do with frontpage 2000 to make this work?<br>

Kyrene,<br><br>Not a real corporate solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;Go there and type &quot;sex&quot; into the forum search and it returns 101 (some very nasty) forums.&nbsp;&nbsp;If management at my company saw me doing anything with them I'd be out on my rear-end in a minute.&nbsp;&nbsp;:-(<br><br>Sorry, we're really old fashioned here.<br><br>Bernie

 

[TeaAddictedGeek]

Oh, ok... I do so see your point there!&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Yes, a corporate solution would require a private bulletin board.&nbsp;&nbsp;As I understand it, they're fairly easy to code. <p> <br><a href=mailto:aberman@thebiz.net>aberman@thebiz.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>Database programmer and developer, fueled by peach snapple.

Kyrene,<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;Sure it's easy to code a crappy generic BBS looking message board. I would like something a bit more detailed. You know search engine, sort by *, Expanded converstations that sort of thing. <p>John Vogel<br><a href=mailto:johnvogel@homepage.com>johnvogel@homepage.com</a><br><a href=

I'm currently working on a company intranet, and have found the forum software (Ceilidh) available from:<br><br><A HREF="

http://www.lilikoi.com</A><br><br>to

be very feature rich, and perfect for a corporate enivironment.&nbsp;&nbsp;Although, the free version is great, the product license is very reasonable and adds further functionality.&nbsp;&nbsp;Your web must be CGI capable.<br><br>Ray

I am now using an ASP forum script I found on the internet. It works very well, except now I am having problems with the borders. Oh well, if anyone wants to check it out you can find it at <A HREF="

http://204.177.102.65/00CW</A>

, click on the Forums link.<br><br>Thanks for all the advise. And I am also going to check out the forum software from Ceilidh seuggested by oper8r, to see if it is better. Keep me updated if anyone else knows of a good web board or forum script. <p>John Vogel<br><a href=mailto:johnvogel@homepage.com>johnvogel@homepage.com</a><br><a href=
