message board help!

So here's the deal.

I'm running a website for my sister's high school marching band... and the parents are being adamant about having a message board on the site.

I mean... I can design a website and throw it into Fetch and ta da... but I don't know anything about html.

So I used Simple Machine Forums and I got it on my page and all that... but I don't know how to do anything to it. I seriously think my myspace savvy 14 year old sister would be better at this than I am. I really am not down for learning html for this.

So... I want another option. Is there something free (because I'm volunteering my time for them) or else a program or something I can buy inexpensively... that I can use that doesn't require coding? Does such a thing exist?


help me! I'm afraid of band boosters!

Look into xoops.org or Homepage :: Zikula Application Framework :: Fast easy and free - Do you dig it? or PHP-Nuke all of these are based on modules that can be added very easily, bulletin boards, news, photo galleries, etc. Easy to install, easy to administer, easy to update.

If you want a forum, and you don't want to spend time configuring and installing...and there is no one else you can call, maybe you should look at....

PHPBBWEB.COM - Free phpbb forum hosting

Enjoy

Thank you both

I'll check all of this out... after midterms week has blown over... and see what works best for me!

thanks again!
