Hey there,

I'm getting quite good at CGI, i wrote my own Shoutbox script and i can write guestbooks, and all the other cool things you can do with forms. But,
i have reached a problem. I'm trying to create a Forum (kinda like this one) all i need is something to show me the right direction to go. All i need for now is the CGI to get it working, i'll worry about design later.

Any help appreciated, Thanks,

Sean

You can make a CGI forum if you wish, however I recommend using PHP. It takes a shorter time to execute when using Abyss. Just a thought...

Hey cheers everyone,

I'm not sure the script archive board is what i'm looking for, but thanks anyway, it did help me to decide pn the layout.

Cheers for the PHP tip but i'm not confident on php and would rather build it out of CGI/Perl

Cheers anyway, anyone else know anything useful?

Sean. :) .
