Hello all! I'm searching for a way to let users on my site submit data that will automatically be published once I ok it in an admin interface. I have a bulletin board, but I'd like to have a resource area that has scrapbooking hints and tips that are submitted by the users and that go under certain categories. I'd like to OK the data and then have it appear on my site. Am I going to have to resort to getting something custom scripted, or is there a program out there that can do this for me?
You'll obviously need some form of server-side script. Can you execute cgi or php on your site?

Yes, we have phpBB and we are thinking of getting a photo gallery called photo post, but i don't think either of these will do the other function i'm thinking of... could be wrong ;)
I would suggest you try using any php based guestbook-type script. You could modify it easily to whatever you wanted, but it would have to be the type that gives you (admin) control over what gets published and what doesn't. I can give you links to several if you'd like.

please! thanks so much! i don't know why i didn't think of this ;)
Have a look at some guestbooks here. Some have very good admin qualities. There are many more on the web.

These are good, but I'd like to find something that is searchable. I don't mind paying for something... I'd like to have user submitted data that falls into categories that is later searchable by others. I'll keep looking :)
