All Right, This is for all you smart, 20 lb brains out there. I am in the middle of designing my website, and i hit a massive roadblock. i want a message board section, but am having problems with it. i don't know much of anything about php, but i want to know if i can build it using sql, and html/javascript? if anybody has any recomendations on how to fix my problem (links, advice, or anything else)
thanks all, |

I use phpBB2 on my site (tho no one really visits the forums anymore, not even me) It is very simple to set up, all you need is php and SQl installed on your host and follow the instructions. www.phpbbhacks.com has some good add-ons and themes to download.
I also bought an HTML guide and hard coded my site by hand with a freeware HTML editor. You can find one by doing a search on www.versiontracker.com .
I hear that www.htmlgoodies.com is a good site to get tips and tricks from to build a site.
Hope this helps.
