:( i tried posting on your forum to give you a thumbs up and wish you good luck, I even went through the trouble of signing up with that ezboards crap. When I finally posted, it asked me to enter my name and password on the ezboard thingy only to have it not recognize it, see if you can get rid of the ezboard registration, it\'ll be much easier for people to post. Anyways good luck on your site.

Done. Now you can post without registering.

Yeah I know ezboards are crap but it was the only thing I could find for free. :)

P.S. I\'ll probably change it back. Its better when people have to register.

I just checked and your name is there under the list of users. Why don\'t you try the thingy where it sends you your password?

Hey man!

I was thinking about what you said, you know, about helping you with your forums.  I decided I\'d be glad to help, I can see great things for your site.  One word of advice, if you are serious about your site, GET IT HOSTED!!!  Your site will die in months otherwise.

Just wanted to let you know.  If you need anymore advice, just lemme know.  Hey, what did you think of that site I showed you?

The design is kinda....blah...but if you want I can design you a pretty simple but eye pleasing design.

Ask Bjorn on how to get your site hosted.

On another note... I did manage to post... however, the damn thing won\'t let me edit profile or preferences.

Yes yes I know its crap but like I said, I just did it really quick. In like 5 minutes. Any help you can give I can take espo. :D

BTW yeah TOBG I saw your post. Thanks :)

I don\'t think I can give pics though, I think the user has to do it. GOD I HATE THIS EZCRAP!

Unfortunetly I don\'t have the $$$ to pay for vBB or UBB or something decent. :rpissed:
Title: EZBoard doesn\'t suck
Post by: Dolbytone on April 06, 2001, 07:52:11 PM
EZBoard works just fine once you figure it out.  They have a new thing (well, about six months old) that makes you pull your registration confirmation email from them to click on a link to activate your account.  If you haven\'t done that, it\'s what\'s causing your problem Billy.

Once you activate your account, you will be able to login to your "Control Center" to edit your preferences and enter URLs for your personal picture, icon and signature.  You can log in from any board on the EZBoard servers.

I\'ll go there and answer any more questions you may have.  I\'ve been with EZBoard for over a year now and know the system pretty well.

If you are willing to spend about $200US, you can get some nice hosting deals. I am with Telaweb, I have inf. Bandwidth, and 200MB of space. I have an Ikonboard, which I think is just about equal to to UBB/VB, and you host it yourself, it\'s much easier to use than SleazyBoard, there\'s no ads, you can add hacks to it, and it\'s FREE. You download the forum\'s software and install it to your server space when you get it. You can\'t do it with tripod or those free ones. I really reccomend that, if you can afford it. If you want to see my Ikonboard, go to http://www.tendocity.net . I just formally launched the site yesterday:)

Nice beginning there, SS88 :)

The only problem is, I couldn\'t get to your forums. It can\'t be my connection - as this site works perfectly.

Ah well - I\'ll try later again.

hey you really doneed to get it hosted cause it will fall vicitm after a while. the best thing to do is send an e-mail to planetps2.com and ask themt o host your site, they will for free, but it has to be nice or else they wont, so fix it up and ask them,  i know this cause i made a unreal site once and they hosted it for me, its dead now but it was cool cause it really helped with getting hits. your gonna have to update it often or theywil stop hosting for you

Ok thanks for all the advice guys. :)

The only thing is, I feel that by starting my own site it will devert(sp?) my attention from this one. And I love this forum. Ah, forget it, just thinking out loud.
