Hi,

I am currently thinking on enhancing my website with a forum, some polls and maybe an ads board.
Are you aware of free software (Microsoft based - as i am not familiar with Perl etc') that i can use to implement either a forum and an ads board?

Thanks,
Gili

Are you running .asp or .net?

A forum and poll both (ideally) need to be run from a database.
If you look for something like a CMS (content mangement system) they usually have forums, polls and things included, sorry can't be much help with micosoft stuff but PHP/MYSQL (which will run on windows) there are a lot around, phpnuke (cms), phpbb (forum), this forum for example is vbulletin (paid version where the others are free) etc

If you can give us some more information about your server (what you have etc) we can be of more help
