    Help with Web Design + Bulletin Boards

    I originally posted this in the Off-Topic section, but it was recommended to me that I try my luck here, instead.

    I'm trying to set up a wee bulletin board of my own (Panic ye not, moderators, I'm not trying to steal any lime-light from Apolyton ). YaBB is free, but I'm told that my current server won't support the cgi (is that right?) code that it uses.

    What's my best bet? In a perfect world, I'd like to be able to run a FREE bulletin board within my current Geocities account, but I'm told that's simply not possible.

    I appreciate that I should really have gone to a site that deals specifically with techie questions like these, but Apolyton appears to have attracted some of the finest minds of our time...

    Flattery will get me everywhere!
    A fact, spinning alone through infospace. Without help, it could be lost forever, because only THIS can turn it into a News.

          The only bad thing about EZ board is they now charge if you don't want any ads. If you don't pay there are pop ups.

          Otherwise it is good.

          If you want space on my board send me a PM. We mainly have Angband stuff now.

          from now on, i can refer to this thread whenever someone mentions acol as a place of freedom where you can post whatever you want and where noone is banned...."

            Thanks for those URLs, folks. I'll chase them up in due course.

            I hardly think the all-seeing, all-knowing behemoth that is Apolyton has anything to fear from wikkle me.

            As much as I appreciate the offer, Kitty, I'd rather the board was affiliated purely with my homepage, for reasons that would probably bore you to tears

            Also, if the off-topic crew caught me fraternising with an ACOLyte, they'd lynch me from the nearest tree!

                I'd say you should try f2s.com. Good learning experience.
