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.
