Hi all,

Can anyone recommend reasonable spec (equiv to phpBB2, YaBB or similar)
bulletin/forum board software that it is possible to use with Frontpage
without having to disable fontpage extensions?

Thanks for taking the time to read this posting, Andy

Why do you have to disable FP extensions? This sound link a hosting issue, as you should be able to
create a subweb/site to hold your forum application, and then just use FTP to upload the forum
application to the subweb/site, and then do not open the subweb/site in FP.

Hi Thomas, thanks for the reply.

My host (1and1) appears to only allow frontpage extensions to be enabled or
disabled for the whole of my web, rather than allowing you to select to
disable the frontpage extensions for a subweb.

Unless anyone knows to the contrary?

The point is create a subweb for the 3rd party forum and then don't open the subweb in FP
- that way you can FTP or set unique permission to it in FTP and not corrupt your root or other valid subwebs

That makes no sense.

Two of our sites have FP extensions on them, and they both have phpBB forums
on them with no problems. PhpBB etc have nothing to do with FP.
