That sounds good.  Will it be Php may I ask?

When I was visiting other websites to look at their discussion boards, I kept seeing this one in particular, both Proboards.com and Xsorbit.com host it, so I checked it out. It's less confusing to create (although there were times I was pulling my hair out with all those html and url codes) and it offers most of the features of Phpbb, so I went with that one. So far my new board is basic looking and I hope as I learn more, I'll be able to get it to match the look and theme of my website.  -- Edited by Webmaster at 13:01, 2004-09-05"

   I see.  I have some proboards MB's I understand that Xsorbit isn't that different, if you need any help, I'm here.  Thanks for putting so much time into it for us!  It's not too easy to learn all of that stuff.

I’m using Proboards and I’ve absolutely worn myself out trying to figure how to use their program, like I mentioned, my computer skills are pretty basic and I don’t understand the html and url codes very well with web designing. Anyways, I want to put up a banner at the top of my message board (a pic of Billy the Kid with the message board title –nothing too elaborate) and I figured out through the Proboard Support Forum how to put in the html code in the admin. control panel, but my question is (and I know this is going to sound very naive) but how do you create a banner in the first place??? Another thing is when I opened my account with them, they used my first name in my message board url address, not my website.  I would prefer it to read http//aboutbillythekid.proboards.com. Do you know if it's possible to change one's message board url address? Thanks for any tips you can pass on to me.-- Edited by Webmaster at 16:29, 2004-09-05"

    I have no clue on the banner thing.  I do know where to put it but not how to make one.  I know a few people that make logos for people - maybe they could help you.  You can do a search for blank banners on google, then use your paint program to write what you will on it, then host it.  Or instead of a banner just use Billy's photo?

I had that problem forever.  What you do is delete the account you have, and where you put your first name in, put what you want for the name of the site.

There are sevral sites to help with color html codes.  Such as: http://www.december.com/html/spec/color.html and the list goes on and on.  I can help with colors if you wish.

Just so you know that I'm not full of hot air, these are some MB's I've designed:
