I've recently got myself a website (to run alongside my forum) with prophp.org. Signing up was a doddle, but now I'm a little stuck.

I've created an index page in Frontpage, now I haven't got a clue how to upload pages crying.gif I've tried asking hubby but he's got more important things to do (like moving pc speakers lol) I’m a complete n00b when it comes to this, please be very patient.

Basically I'd be very appreciative if someone could talk me through this. Once I've got the basics I should be ok on my own. It's just getting this first page uploaded I need help with.

Here’s what I’ve done…

I’ve tried creating a domain and it said the following: bebicftc.byet.org is allready assigned and in use. (their typo not mine)

I’ve tried uploading the index page to the www directory, with no luck.

Edit: I've just sat with hubby and he's managed to help me get the basics of the index page uploaded, I can keep banging away at it to get the graphics working

Here's a sneaky peek - http://bebicftc.prophp.org/

If anyone can help further...?

Edit again: I've now got the basics enough to carry on creating & uploading pages, but if anyone out there does know anything about this and can offer any tips and shortcuts then I'm open to PM's thumbsup.gif
(I know, jumping the gun and posting when I managed it myself, but hey never mind LOL)

Workaround for the chat issue on every page.. first. Upload a simple html page with the chat room imbedded, then make sure you allow HTML posting on your board ( usually an option in the board control panel) Then you could add an ifram to one of the topics.. Lock the topic so no one can post in it.. The iframe will pull the chat page you uploaded and insert it into the topic you posted..

The following would be an example of the code you would have to post ...

<iframe src="default.htm" width="320" height="300" scrolling="yes" name="content"></iframe>

The height , width and iframe src would have to be chhanged to fit you needs.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need more clarification :-)
