Hi Liam, Thank you for your advice, I will go and take a look with my friend. The forum that I am working is quite famous on security and reliability, but it came from China. So everything is in Chinese. I spent ages translating them into English as well as Customising it to fit the use of DOC. I will see if the forum you told me work the same as mine, and perhaps I can integrate some good functions from that forum to mine!! Thanks very much, John --- liam_bee <liam_bee@xxxx> wrote: --------------------------------- Hi John, A friend of mine uses a forum provided by http://www.phpbb.com/, II find it a very useful, powerful and customisable forum, with excellent security (Geez starting to sound like a sales pitch! ;) ), if you'd like to see it in action have a look at: http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/phpBB2/index.php or http://members.lycos.co.uk/tidaladvection/index.php, it's free to download but does require setting up, which from the sound of things won't bother you in the slightest!
