Does anyone know how or where I could get a message board that could go on my site instead of the message board host site? All the ones I see seem to be like that, and I want to put it right on my site. Any tips? [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif[/img]

I'm glad I could help and jumped at the chance to pimp out a great product. I'm using that board on my site, but haven't set up the css yet. If you run into anything ya need help with in setting it up, just leave a message here and I'll send ya my email address or icq#. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Yikes, I downloaded the ikonboard but there's no destructions anywhere. I guess they expect people to understand things that I just don't.
Can anyone tell me what's the first thing to do? Do I send it to my website first? Do I install it on my 'puter at home to set things up first? How do you install it anyway? I can't even look at any of the files because acrobat reader comes up and I don't know what program to use.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks,

Take The Downloaded zip file and unzip it to "my documents" on your computer. You'll find a folder there named "ib219" or whatever version you downloaded. Inside that folder are all the files along with "help" and "first_install" in HTML. You'll need a good FTP program to move the files to your site, one that lets you change or set permissions, WS_FTP95 is a good one that does this. DO NOT SET PERMISSIONS TO '0777' use '0755' instead, just trust me on this! Let me know how ya make out, the instructions are really good in the help files but sometimes its not enough. Anymore troubles let me know. I've been around here since the I-US days, just never wrote anything before this!hehe C-ya Back at the Xara-X

Hey Unholy,
i went and got ikonboard from you said, seems pretty cool, except i'm having a few problems with cookies.
do you know how ikonboard stands up to lots of traffic?
cheers,
chuck
What Kind Of Troubles Are You Having With Cookies Chuck? Did You Download ib2 or ib3? Board V2 Is The Stable Version At This Time, If Your Running V3 It's Alpha or Beta Stage Right Now And You'd Be Doing Them A Favor By Letting Them Know You Might Have Found A Bug In It........
As Far As Standing Up To Traffic, Can't Tell You For Sure. Just Check Their Board For Traffic (Very Heavy), So If I Had To Guess I'd Say It'll Do The Trick For Ya. I Don't Work For Jarvis, I Just Found A Free Cool Board For Personal Or Commercial Use(Which Is VERY Rare In Itself [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]) And Thought I'd Share My Find With Others. Tell Me More About The Problem Your Having And I'll Tell Ya If I Can Help Or Even Ask Over At Their Forum, Lotsa Cool People Over There Too!.....C-ya
BTW.....Hows It Going With Yours mom_de_bomb?
Yikes! I can't find where to set permissions anywhere - even where the help files say it is - in ftp commands when I right click.

Did you figure it out mom? If not, log on to your site(using WS_FTP95), left click (to select or "highlight" it)on the file you want to change permissions on then right click on it for the drop down box. Go to "chmod(UNIX)" and left click on it, that will bring up the dialog box to set permissions. Check each file and set each one where you want it, I had one *.cgi set wrong and it wouldn't work........Took me all night to figure out what was wrong! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img] (did I hear you say "DUH!")hahaha, Let me know if you got it or if that helps. C-ya
According to the webhost I have, they don't use unix, they use NT or something. I don't think I can use the board. I have to reread all the stuff from ikonboard and the emails I got from my host. **sigh**
It's taking me awhile to work on this because I just got a very good new customer!!!!!
Murals and freshening up of old decor in 17 amusement parks here in CA!!! yaaay!! I'm soooo happy because in April I just quit my day job to go for this art biz and it's been getting scary.
