    Well, I'd either put it in Tech Support, or Off-Topic. It's not a discussion about NS, nor is it a problem with NS directly... so, <span style='color:orange'>*Phased*</span> to Off-Topic. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The problem of the message board not working would be due to the lack of an included personal database with the free hosting packages. When checking for a web host for your Invision message board, see if you'd have access to a MySQL database. If not, move on. It won't work otherwise.

    Your best bet is to pay out a few bucks for professional hosting. In this case, I'd <i>highly</i> recommend <a href='http://www.ipshosting.com/' target='_blank'>IPS</a> - it's the same company that makes the Invision software. A very reasonably-priced US$10/mo will get you a decent "forum-only" setup - 10gb traffic and 50mb of storage space per month.

    If you also want a bit more in addition to the message board, try bumping up to a web hosting package - US$14.99/mo gives 20gb/mo traffic and 200mb storage space, 10 email addys, 5 ftp accounts, 2 subdomains, and more.

    I've been using their $14.99/mo package for the past six months, and I've never had a problem with it. It's very fast, extremely reliable, and their tech support is very quick and helpful.

    Why "install it himself with the $14 package"? Invision can come pre-installed and the appropriate databases pre-configured with any forum or web hosting package at IPS, all at no additional charge.

    Either way, you can get a fully-operational Invision message board at a very reasonable price.

    if you want a free forum setup, goto

    <a href='http://www.invisionfree.com' target='_blank'>www.invisionfree.com</a>

    that'll give you a free forum to run, and its very much configurable, but i think u have to email them if you want a skin putting on, i'm not sure
