hi i used yahoo site builder to make website but i do not have a clue on how to make a message board or a download page so others people can download stuff from my site. my site is for gaming for my server the website came for free with my server i have access to cpanel but do not know what i am doing i am willing to pay someone for help with my site or to finish my site for me i been checking everywhere on the internet but cannot find anything on these toppics i know its probably java or something thanks jack adkins

so your site is hosted at yahoo?

Whats your site name and I will see if i can figure out how to help you

I am a webmaster (small one) I also can be of service.

hi my site is not at yahoo i have been using thier sitebuilder to make my web pages my site is www.borg.clanservers.com but when i log in it takes me to a index of page thanks

I see what your saying. It almost looks like you havent hit done or something. I had this same thing on my site. But how are you using yahoo builder on the clanservers host? Do they not have a site builder?

NO THEY GIVE U C PANEL WHICH IS JUST A PROGRAM THAT GIVES YU A BUNCH OF STUFF TO UPLOAD TO YOUR WEBSITE WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS OR INSTALL PROGRAM. I TOOK THE HTML FROM THERE WEBSITE AND UPLOADED IT TO MINE.

From the yahoo or the webhost? Yahoo site builder is junk I found out. Have you got ftp access or know what that is?

Is this site actually going to be part of yahoo? Like the website is www.yahoo.com/gamesite/

I dont know much about their hosting service

I have a question I cant find your host anywere. Could you give me a link to your host(where you got the site from) so I can view what features you have.
Thanks

hi my host is www.clanservers.com and yes it has a ftp upload all of this is from cpanel

So you can use a ftp program? Instead of using a yahoo thing why not a good ftp site builder? I have one! I can help you out on a few options. Its late here better go to bed. We will talk soon...

Where it says "Documentation Click to View" in cpanel, click on it and you will find some brief help pages on all the functions within cpanel.
I can't help you anymore at the moment because i have to get to work, i'll try and give you more help later.

Chief.

Well im back. You said you have ftp access. You might be better off with a website builder. I will wait until we can talk this thru..

Yes you can install a message board. You will need to have access to mysql and to php which it seems you do. A good free forum software phpBB2:

http://www.phpbb.com/

I run a phpBB forum and if you need any help setting one up just let me know and i'll do it for you.

Chief.

P.S. my email is chiefmas@chiefmasterjedi.us (i'm home all day on Sunday )

Chief! I have to warn you better edit your email in that post! Spambots will eat you alive! Just a tip...
If you need a forum try one like I got??
Invison powerboards.

As for your site I still am ready to help you build it. I have a ftp program ready to show you.

CGM3, That is my web server email addy which is plastered all over my web site and forum, i also have spam assassin activated on my mail server. I get about 5-10 spam emails a week which make it through and they are filtered to other folders which i just empty with a single click.
Don't take this the wrong way, but "eaten alive" is a bit over the top, i don't care if i get 1,000 spam emails a week, i'll just click them away .

um.......It wasnt meat to be offensive to you. Yeah but you ought to report them to the FBI. Sorry!

i would like to thank chiefmasterjedi for all his help has me up and running thanks alot i owe you one SEE YA

You said you had access to Cpanel right? If so look for a button on Cpanel called, "Fantastico." It will look something like this.



If you find it then click it and on the left hand side of the page you should see an area dedicated to Discussion Boards. You can install a Message Board using that. On the Download Page it would be helpful if you were more specific. I could code it for you in PHP free of charge!
