i want to let people upload pictures to my web site so everyone could see them, is this possible, or would i have to make a forum liek this one that allows http and images added to the pots.
I am a bit of a begginer but a fast learner. I have seen this style of forum before, does it come from a template of some kind?

thanx

To do something like this you would need some kind of database application and use something like php to code the pages. The alternative is to use a forum and this one is from vBulletin which isn't free and I'm sure you need some programming knowledge to run it. There are some free ones around or alternatively find a host that offers one as part of the hosting package which will probably be customisable to an extent.

i am witrh freeola, which only allowys you to upload in 56k with a special dialup connection, but i know someone else that has a forum similar to this one, and will have to get in contact with him about how he built it. Do you know where i can get one of these free forum templates from?

phpBB, IkonBoard, or InvisionBoard which have been suggested in the past.
