Hi Guys,

I need to get hold of a decent Message or bulletin board that does what it says on the box. Nothing flash just your standard board to post messages that nobody reads but makes the client feel that they are at least getting "feedback" from the site. (As you can see I'm really not bothered about these types of boards, but the client is king). Something that is free would be ideal and very easy to set up would be ideal...

Thanks guys

www.phpbb.com and www.invisionboard.com are the two best free ones. Easy to install and configure - if you need a hand give us a shout.

Can always count on you Oli - I may take you up on that offer of a hand as I have yet to delve into PHP (meaning to do it, but time... you know).

dont really need to know any php, just script installation and setting a mySQL database, follow the install instructions and you should be fine.

Thanks again - I'm just looking into it and it seems pretty straight forward (famous last words)...
