Bulletin Board is a free CGI script which you
can install onto your account via the CGI
Scripts page. The script enables a threaded
discussion forum on your web site.
Accessing Bulletin Board
The installation process creates a directory called
'board' in your cgi-bin in which the discussion
board files are stored. The discussion board can
therefore be accessed at http://www.test-account.com/cgi-bin/board.
To allow your visitors to view and post to your
bulletin board just make a hyperlink in your page
to this URL.
Managing Bulletin Board
Bulletin Board includes a handy administration
interface which allows you to remove old postings
from the board. This can be accessed at http://www.test-account.com/cgi-bin/board/boardadmin.pl.
The username and password for the administration
section are initially both set to 'admin'. You are
advised to change these immediately.
Customising Bulletin
Board
The main Bulletin Board page can be found at
/cgi-bin/board/index.html when you connect to your
account by FTP. You
can modify this page to compliment the design and
colours of your site, you must however ensure that
the form elements of the page remain intact. We
suggest that you make a backup of the page before
making any modifications.
