I use jumpline.com for hosting and it works pretty well. It is pretty good with multiple domains as well.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

As long as we are discussing hosting - anyone have an experiences with bulletin board hosts?
Any thoughts on readybb (which uses phpbb) or bulletinboards.com? Any other hosts. We need passwords and no ads or popups - so probably are not looking for free. (Not saying we would turn free down if it did everything we wanted. Or ponys.)

I've found that using phpbb on a regular web hosting service works very well.

This is going to be maintained by various volunteers with random levels of competence who will run out of time or lose interest and be replaced by others. I intend NOT to be technical support - but will probably not win that fight. Does generic hosting make sense for those circumstances?

Hmmm... once phpbb is installed (and it isn't very hard to do), there isn't really a lot to do to keep it running and the administrative tools are all web GUI stuff. My phpbb boards have been pretty small affairs though.

Well - suspect this will be too.

Ok. My laptop is being stupid. Internet Explorer does not want to load, and like an idiot, I don't have another browser installed. I don't think it's a virus, 'cause I ran my virus check. It's not the ISP, 'cause Emily's computer works. Any ideas on how to get a copy of IE to try to reinstall?

All is well that ends in pizza.
The easiest would be to reinstall from a download from Microsoft. What verion of IE do you have? If IE 6, click this [link] .
And, if you have XP with Service Pack 2, you might consider IE 7 beta 2. Betas aren't for everyone, but there it is.

The problem is, I can't download anything on that computer, 'cause it won't load. Can I download and burn to CD?

Nebbermind. I downloaded it on a network computer and tried that. It didn't work, because it's actually an older version than is already on my computer. So, I downloaded Firefox. That seems to be working fine. But, the computer is still slow and whatnot. So, now I'm running spybot. We'll see. I think I'll run the virus checker again too. Something is definitely strange.
