In FP 2003 you can create a discussion web site by going file>new> and choosing the 'Discussion Web Site Wizard' under the 'general' tab. It's pretty basic, but it's okay. I run a phpBB forum alongside my main site (www.phpBB.com) womble (in reply to pkarne)

Couls you please tell me whether I need Frontpage Server Extension Tool kit for the same? Also, can I host the discussion forums on my Intranet? Looking forward for your reply!

However, the PHPBB forum is open source software, free and everything you need to know re installation is on their website. www.phpbb.com. You don't need FP extensions to run it but... quote: Installation of phpBB 2.0.14 requires the following: A webserver or web hosting account running on any major Operating System A SQL database system, one of: MySQL (3.22 or higher) PostgreSQL 7.0.3 or higher (preferably 7.1.x or 7.2.x) MS SQL Server (7 or 2000) directly or via ODBC MS Access (2000 or XP) via ODBC PHP (4.0.3 and above) with support for the database you intend to use above and see also http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=174911 There's plenty of support on the PHPBB forum Regards, Philip (in reply to pkarne)

I've heard FP confusticates some types of files but so far so good. Maybe it's just down to dumb luck!! (in reply to bobby)
