Website Formats...

[Nemo]

All,

I was going to send this to Linda, but thought I'd post it here as there may be members who have suggestions that might help.

I'm interested in what kind of format this Vintage Scuba Message Board uses, and if it's free or not.

One of the other things I'm into is the guitar, and I would like to start a website where I can exchange audio files with members, so we can work on songs together over the Internet, and sort of "jam in cyberspace".

We used to do that on a guitar website I was on a year or so ago; and it looked like the same Message Board format as Dan's site here; but it's gone now so I can't ask them.

I'd rather not use up the space available on my Vulcania Submarine website for off-topic guitar stuff; and free Yahoo sites have such small file space availability that we'd fill it up in only a few songs. So I'm checking what's free and available.

QUESTIONS:

(1) Is the Vintage Scuba Message Board a free format that's available somewhere?

(2) If it costs money, how much?

(3) Does anyone know of any other free Message Board formats that have large file capacities?

Thanks in advance.

Pat,

Take a look here: ProBoards.com

I believe this is what Linda and Dan use. Linda will need to help you with answers to any other questions.


Good luck!

Cool, thanks Jes. I just quickly scanned the first page, but it looks good.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Okay, I put up a music forum with Proboards today, and you're right: it does appear to be the same format as what you folks are using here.

Still figuring out the mechanics of site admin, and have three questions I'd like to submit to the more computer savvy in the group.

On a message board of this type:

(1) Is it possible to imbed video clips in message posts?

(2) Is it possible to upload music files: WMA, MP3 etc.?

(3) What are some free online storage sites where I might be able to deposit video and sound files for further uploading to the forum?

Thanks in advance.

Just thought I'd head anybody who might respond to this off at the pass...

Thanks, but I found the information I was looking for. Got the site up and everything's working fine.

To All, I have a Northhill Air-Lung regulator complete. I have had it for some time along with a USD Aqua- Lung reg #14007, it needs hoses. Does anyone know what they are worth and their age? thanks in advance. Tony
