An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site. It originated as the modern equivalent of a traditional bulletin board, and a technological evolution of the dialup bulletin board system. From a technological standpoint, forums or boards are web applications managing user-generated content.

People participating in an Internet forum may cultivate social bonds and interest groups for a topic may form from the discussions.

How could I make a website with chat rooms and message boards?

A. I used TinyPurpleGrapes.com to create my family home page and a few other sites. When you create a webpage you can turn on visitor comments so that visitors to your site can leave messages. You can control if they are visible immediately after they are posted or you can set it up so that you approve messages before people can see them. You can also control the sort order (newest to oldest or oldest to newest). I think its the only free website builder that does not display ads on your site. Here are a few sample sites including mine: It is very easy to use and has lots of great features like - Photo Albums - Visitor Comments - File Download Area - Color schemes to choose from - Member Only Content - Detailed Visitor Statistics… [cont.]

Why do you require visa card info to sign a child up for yahoo to participate on message boards?
Q. I just tried to sign my child up with a Yahoo ID to participate on the math message boards, but it would not let me continue without visa card information. Why do you need that information? I thought this was a free service.

A. No one asked me for visa information to sign-up for Yahoo and I would never give them that info anyway. Indeed if I were you, I would check that it was Yahoo and not a phishing site that you entered your credit card information.
