Frontpage 2000 - can I set up a message board? Chat room? How?

[Guest]

I am trying to create a new FAMILY website for my VERY large family which
would allow posting messages & photos etc.

Ideally I would also like to set up a chat room.

I would really appreciate any help.

You can set up a discussion web using FP 2002, but not a chat room.

there is nothing in FP (any version) that would accomplish this in detail. You
need a third party product. what you can get and set up depends on your server.

Try www.hotscripts.com, www.bignosebird.com for scripts. hotscripts.com has
scripts for all the major server side scripting languages from Perl to PHP, ASP,
..net and so on.

Finding one that you can add photos and so on may take a bit more searching.

A portal may do what you want, although setting up some of them are not for beginners.

You may want to look into something like http://www.livejournal.com as a solution - although it wouldn't exactly be your 'creation', it may do what you want and it has a free version.

Try phpBB -- specifically look for phpNuke or phpPlus, both of which
include photgalleries I believe (I know phpNuke does). Both are also
freeware/open source. To start go to http://www.phpbb.com -- for phpNuke
http://phpnuke.org/ -- for phpPlus
