Hello. I have a member site and would like to have just the message inbox like they have on a lot of free forums. I don't want the forum or any link to the forum on the page so that rules out signing up for a free forum just for the messaging.

Does anyone know if there are any free or lower-cost sites offering remotely hosted private messaging?

I'm abit confused what it is your trying to achieve, couldnt you just edit the Messages page to open in a new window and just manually remove the links?

Sorry if I've mis-read your problem.

The forum pages are not from my site though (remotely hosted they are). It would be simple then. My site has php, but it's over my head, because I tried...and tried.

Would it not be simpler to set up your own forum on your site so then you could customize all aspects?

Sorry I couldnt be of much help.

Thank you for your time. Yes it would, but...I tried and can't do it. That would be ideal though.

Try installing a phpBB forum, its relatively simple, most things can be edited via the browser based admin panel.

You only have to start deal with php if you want to change the layout and that just involves replacing files as opposed to going into the code and start tinkering.

I managed to set one up and I have little to no knowledge of php, have faith!

By the way, did you use phpbb.com? That's what didn't work for me, then I stopped trying...

And I'm trying it now. Peter Lavin is trying to show me how to build a phphBB Forum in 5 easy steps. ?

OH! Thank you thank you thank you Bob! I got it! The thing I had been doing wrong before was entering the dns of my actual site and not the dns of my database! Thanks to your kind words...and Peter!
