Multi User Forums
The forums board is a great way for people to get together and discuss information on a particular topic. Boards are easy to modify and edit through this web interface.
-
Go to the WebControl System and install the Forums Script. This is listed under the Free Scripts section.

Point you browser to http://yourdomain.com/forums/cgi-s/

Click on "Main Administration" Use admin for the user name, and blah for the password. You can change these through the next screen.
-
Click on "Create Forum".
-
Specify a name and topic for the forum board. Keep in mind, you are able to go back and create additional forums. The moderator is the person in control of the board and its content. There are many options which include specifying banned words and IP addresses.
- After you hit the "Create Forum" board, the computer will show you a link to follow. It will look like (http://yourdomain.com/forums). This is the link people should follow to use your new forums board.

Below, you will see what a newly created board looks like. You can go back in and edit the text and background color.
- After you post a message, you will see it on a separate page. You
have the option to edit this page as well. All of the editing can be
done through the Admin Login section.
-
This is the last step. If you log back into the forum administration section, you can edit files that control board content and security.
