i dont think setting a forum will be possible on *www.t35.com/
coz it doesnt have mysql support ..
as much as i know .. phpbb forums can only be set up with mysql backend
look for a user called h4ck3r .. he had setup a forum ( possibly on a free site )
he can help i think

ok well
to put up a forum
you need a SQL supported host
here is a good host free host
that supports sql and is giving 100mb webspace
www.dhost.info
as for setting up the forum
get teh appropriate software
i guess you would use phpbb
however here you have your own choice
ok now on with the setting up of the forum
after geting a SQL supported web host
FTP/upload the forum software to your webspace
create a SQL db (there would be a program called sql my admin given by your host)
during doing so you would need to give the DB a name
and a password
after doing so you
then you would need to install the Forum through a installation file
as given by your appropriate forum software
all in all you need to connect the SQL db with the Forum to work
as said earlier and by alib_i
you need a webhost that supports SQL as well as PHP scripts

Thanks, Is their any way to prevent ads to appear on the web

Thank you so much frnds... But, plz check my website's home page
*siddhartha.t35.com
A very big banner appears if you don't have apop-up blocker and a firewall to prevent ads..
But, can we work out some codes in the website's html so as to prevent ads from appearing on anybody's comp..
Since the service is free, I need to have something to prevent ads on the site..
As for h4ck3r , I think I will PM him...

No way boss if you try to remove those ad's
the host would delete your website
if you dont want it simple way out would be to go for ad free hosts
