hi there i want to implement a forum and chatroom into my dating website. what is the easiest way, can it be done in html or do i use a more dynamic language, please help

More dynamic.

You can get jscript or php and no doubt other scripting language ones for either.

No i have no suggestions for what you should look at but you wont get too far trying to do this in just html.

You need to use a script and database to create a forum for your site. You can get scripts off the shelf, so to speak. For example look at www.phpbb.com which is free or try www.hotscripts.com for loads more.

three simple words....
Bravenet

If your looking for something to customise phpBB would be the best free option..

www.phpbb.com

Robert. I use PHPBB and have trialed a few chat facilities but you'll have to dig around. Hotscripts is a good start mate.

Please speak with your host before implementing chat though: some of them can seriously eat into your allowance and you'll have to consider this when buying.

I wouldn't touch a bravenet chatroom for the world...it can't be secured if you want a private one. Liz

I would go with PHPBB. It's really good and has loads of databes to choose from!

I guess it all depends on how serious you wanna get really.

avoid bravenet. not very professional either. id just do a google search for free forum software, and free chat scripts.
