    Default Little help please

    I'm currently using geocities as a preperation website, which is currently a photo album for a game. I would like to add comment boxes so that people can submit their comments on the pictures and the comments can be seen on that same page. Kinda like a message board. Please do you have any coding i could use to create a message board or comment box. Thanks for your help.

    This is a job for server side scripting, PHP might work well. Geocities, unless they offer server side scripting (I am not aware of them doing so, at least not on their free sites) is a poor choice. Third party message boards are available but, as Geocities actively disables many types of off site content, again a poor choice for trying these out, unless the entire content of the third party script is experienced off site (if say a single link takes you to the message board and you stay there until finished with it). Another drawback for Geocities, in general, when using their free sites to test things out is that they put so many of their own scripts on a page that adding a script to your Geocities page is often an exercise in futility owing to script conflicts.
