I have set up a discussion web in my site, but after posting, nothing is displayed in contents, even after refreshing, help me please
 
I've done discussion webs (quite a while ago) in FrontPage and was very disappointed at how limited I was in being able to tweak them. Even when they worked (which took some effort) they were not satisfactory.

You can get a very decent looking messageboard on your site in about 5 minutes if you go to
Or you can go to cgi-resources.com and find a cgi script. It probably won't take much longer to figure out than the FP Discussion Web and you'll have learned something you can apply to all kinds of interactive programs. (Watch out for that cgi, it's addictive!)

I disagree with Bunni regarding the difficulty of setting up a Front Page discussion web - it's exceedingly simple. Certainly, it is far more simplistic than working with CGI and Perl.

The only tip I have, is to follow the instructions in the discussion web setup wizard - they are very easy to understand and explicit.
