Ok I am not very intelligent at this. The phpbb site you gave me did not help me.

I can leave the forum I have if it still works. I want to make one fancy like this though with registration. I was not able to understand the php code.

Can you describe it to me. do i need a program to make it.

my forum is URL=http://nicseverquest.netfirms.com/disc1_toc.htm]http://nicseverquest.netfirms.com/disc1_toc.htm[/URL]

I really want to know how to make registration. think of me being a 12 year old. get me to understand. please.

I use frontpage any advice for that. I know how to use html but i prefer fp

Hey NicRab,

If you want registration, you are going to need some sort of storage ability to hold username/password combos. This is usually done with server-side languages such as ASP, and PHP. Coldfusion by Macromedia is making its way in, too.

The server-side language is what will tie your user interface (the webpage) to the storage media you use (which should be some sort of database utility).

ASP is really easy to learn, and if you have Windows, you can easily install IIS from your disk so that you can test the language on your own computer. I learned a heap of ASP in less than 3 months, after I grasped the concept of "server side" technology... which can sometimes disorient new learners.
