Need help with something for a website

[Superfly]

Hey, guys.

Have a question. I am building a website for my subdivision that I live in, and I am looking for a way to have some kind of interactive board on one of the pages that people can post on.

I want it for something like "community happenings," so if someone is having a yard sale, they can post it, or if there's a seafood festival, somebody can post it. I'd just like a way to update that particular part of the site by allowing users to do it themselves, without me having to constantly change it.

I'd rather do it that way than doing it on our forum.

Any ideas?

I know nothing of value about what you're proposing. But I think it's a darned good idea. Good luck!

I had some good luck with running a phpbb board with bluehost. a hundred bucks a year; will handle moderate amounts of traffic, but that sounds like all you'll need. I believe it's one click setup, also. if you set up a board like that and have problems, I can probably help you troubleshoot. I've never tweaked phpbb3, but I'm a whiz at 2, and could probably figure it out.

well I have a regular message board - I was just hoping I could do it somehow like you click on a webpage, and there's "bulletin board" that you can post messages on - on one page. But when I say bulletin board, I don't mean like an internet bulletin board, but like a community bulletin board that you could just post stuff on.

But thanks!

I realize this is a few months old but you can just read and write to a text file if you haven't found a solution yet.

thanks!

If you are still looking, I think Nabble has something that can help you. The message board is hosted by them but people interact with it on your site via embedding it so it seems like a discussion add on to your site. Last I heard one did not need to have an account to post on the embedded nabble board.
