Hy Angus!
I'm an old one of your forum but I lost user and passwd so I made a new account........

The problem: my ISP doesn't like CGIs 'cause of security problems. He tell me to use PHP instead........... Have you ever converted your script to PHP?

Bye

Nup :). But you can probably find another PHP forum script out there if you want, like PHPBB2 perhaps. However, properly configured, CGI scripts have just the same security issues as PHP scripts (in fact, PHP is just an easier means of writing CGI).

If you want a small forum script like this (PHPBB2 is rather large!), go to http://mylittlehomepage.net . A very nice, small, PHP and MySQL forum -- sort of like this but with a few more features and online administration.
