Blocking web address from guest book

[Guest]

I am getting slamed by spamers putting links to adult sites and fake med
sites. How can I stop this? Any help is welcomed. Thank you.

Unfortunately, the FP guestbook is not very clever and doesn't really have
any administrative features to allow this. You can probably find a free
guestbook online that will work as well/better than the FP one and comes
with some management features and character/phrase blocking. Your host may
have some ideas, but first you'll need to see what scripting technologies
they support, such as ASP or PHP, and then you can find a guestbook to
match.

Hope this helps,

Mark,
I am looking for a third party 'guest book' that will work with FP
extension installed server.
My webserver supports php.

can you recommend any package which has been tried and tested?

regards,
ken.

There are no 3rd Party Guest Books that work with the FP extensions. Do a search for a 3rd Party PHP
guest book application.

Thomas,

Thank you for the reply.

I am new to all this web stuff. I just managed to learn FP and published a
primitive looking site - www.kentheteaman.com/.
But the guest book is giving me trouble.

Even if I search - I wouldn't know if something is safe to install with the
FP extension.
Can you recommend any(Off the record, offcourse. I won't tell MS MVP people
!!!).

regards,
ken.

Really can't offer any choices, as I don't use Guest books on any of my commercial projects. However
any application that uses a server-side script / database is handled outside of the FP extensions,
and generally need to be uploaded via FTP to a subweb / subsite, if your host supports/ allows them.
Check with your host as they may have one available for your use.
