Can anyone please point me in the right direction for a HTML tutorial on how to create a 'post messages' page? I would like to create a real basic page within a site that will allow users to post a message.

Thanks!

You are going to need to use some sort of serverside language, such as PHP, Perl, etc... Here's a simple PHP version: http://forums.webdeveloper.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10856&highlight=guestbook

I recommend purple yin (http://www.purpleyin.com). If you know basic html, it's awesome. Out of all the scripts I've ever installed, this one was easiest to do and easiest to modify with your own info. Appears to work great. Looks nice on the screen. Many features.

The scritping its self is extremly simple with any server side language its very basic, unless you incorperate it into your login system and track the im addresses but all its doing is adding data to a data base and then another page displays it. Look at www.clanknights.vze.com thats what I have it does just what we are talking about.
