I'm looking to set up a forum which registered users can
post to and visitors can read. Each post is to be vetted
by a moderator and can only go on the forum once approved.
Is it possible to do this using FP2003? If not does
anybody know of a product which I can use with my already
established Front Page website.

I'm sure I have already posted this but cannot find it
anywhere, so apologies if you've already seen it.
 
FrontPage would not be a good choice for this. There are lots of forum
programs out there, it just depends upon what technologies you have
available. For example: if ASP.Net is available on your server, you can use
the ASP.Net forums from the www.asp.net web site
(http://www.asp.net/Forums/default.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=39) free for
download http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=7&tabid=41

You should be able to do a search at Google for the various technologies,
like PHP Forum, ASP Forum etc. and come up with some good free forums that
may do the job.

Hope this helps,

try a third-party product:
www.yabb.com (CGI/Perl driven forum - requires registered users to log on etc,
moderated and so on).

or www.phpbb.com (PHP driven, same deal as above - requires registered users, is
moderated etc etc).
