I found a free message board for my site, where I can have my Google ads there, instead of Proboards ads, but it requires PHP, which I know nothing about. I don't believe my host, Doteasy.com, supports PHP on its free sites. Does Trap17? If so, could I host my message boards, here, and link from my Doteasy site? The software I'm looking at is YABB. Here's the link:
Yet Another Bulletin Board
It also mentions CHMOD and Perl--I don't know those, either. Should I give it up or is it possible for somebody like me to do this?--I do know HTML.
TIA,
Suz

Trap17 supports PHP, MySQL, Perl ....
Terrific. Now all I have to do is figure out how to put it all together, which means I'll probably be back with lots of dumb questions. Thanks.

Normally you just upload the file into a folder created in /public_html, then you'll need to setup a new MySQL datebase and give full permission for the database to a MySQL user. Then you usually just run a install.php file located somewhere in your forum folder.
I'm not too familiar with YaBB, since it uses Perl, I dont know what other procedures you need to do before running.
If you dont mind, use phpBB instead, its free and you can put Google Ads in the forum. Also I have more experience with this forum than YaBB, therefore I give you better technical support.

Terrific. Thanks. phpBB it is. Hopefully, I'll be able to start on it, tomorrow. Right now I'd better figure out how to get a site activated over here, so I'll be up to speed on that part before I try to tackle the BB.

Awsome, just give me pm when you need any help.
Will do--thanks again. BTW, how much space will this take up? I'm thinking of combining the message boards for all 4 of my sites into this one. I don't get much traffic, so I don't expect much action. I get 20MB of space here, free, right? Will that be enough if I don't put anything else here except my forums? Is that okay with Trap17 or would I be abusing my rights here

I dont think it will, as long as you dont exceed the disk space and data transfer... You must also have enough sql database...
Yikes! How do I get that?
