hi does anyone know how to add a message board or forum to your site in
frontpage? do you just add a new page and download it there?
 
Normally you'd download a zipped ASP / PHP site and unzip / FTP to your FP site and integrate from there.
 
1) Go here http://www.phpbb.com/
2) Download the file and unzip to folder
3) Copy phpBB2 to a folder on your web
4) You will need a MySQL db with your web host
5) Go to www.yourweb.com/yourfolder/phpBB2
Follow instructions to install (your host must have php support)
Info you will input: MySQL location, db username, db password (you host
provides those), username, password, email for the administrator
After you install you cannot log in until you delete the "install" and
"contrib" folders.
Forum is customizable in many ways and is FREE
