Bulletin Board is a free CGI script which you can install onto
your account via the CGI Scripts page. The script enables a threaded
discussion forum on your web site.
Accessing Bulletin Board
The installation process creates a directory called 'board' in your
cgi-bin in which the discussion board files are stored. The discussion
board can therefore be accessed at http://www.demo.namesteinternet.co.uk/cgi-bin/board.
To allow your visitors to view and post to your bulletin board just
make a hyperlink in your page to this URL.
Managing Bulletin Board
Bulletin Board includes a handy administration interface which allows
you to remove old postings from the board. This can be accessed
at http://www.demo.namesteinternet.co.uk/cgi-bin/board/boardadmin.pl.
The username and password for the administration section are initially
both set to 'admin'. You are advised to change these immediately.
Customising Bulletin Board
The main Bulletin Board page can be found at /cgi-bin/board/index.html
when you connect to your account by FTP. You can modify this page to compliment
the design and colours of your site, you must however ensure that
the form elements of the page remain intact. We suggest that you
make a backup of the page before making any modifications.
