003 - Can I add a discussion board to my site?

Frequently asked questions | previous | next

Web Teams do not provide discussion forum or message board functionality. However, there are a number of other web companies that do excellent discussion forums. We recommend that you set one up with one of these companies and then link to this discussion forum from your Web Teams site.

For teams in the UK non-league pyramid:

Web Teams recommends the excellent www.nonleaguezone.com

For other teams:

One particular company we can recommend is bravenet.com - bravenet.com do free discussion forums, photo albums, chat rooms and user polls. Full step by step instructions on how to set these up can be viewed by going to the bravenet.com site.

Once you have set up your discussion forum you will need to link to it from your Web Teams site. This can be done through the "Enter/Edit Site Links" page within your site administration area.

Once added users will see a link to your discussion forum to the left of every page on your site.

Additional tips

• Once you add a discussion forum, be sure to tell all of your site visitors about it. Adding a news item would be a good way of doing this.
