Buxton School Message Board
Frequently Asked Questions
Here
is a brief explanation of some of the questions you may
have about using the message board.
Can
I put html tags anywhere in my posts?
No. You can not use HTML tags in any field except body of
the message. The maintainer of the script has the option
of allowing or disallowing any HTML in the Message part
of your posting. If they disallow it, the script will just
throw out everything in <>'s. If they allow it, your
html markup will appear in the posting. It can't hurt to
try.
Why
are there colons in the message when I try to post a followup?
Colons appear in the message dialog box when you try to
followup up on a message to indicate that those lines are
quoting the previous document. The owner of the WWWBoard
can decide whether they wish to enable or disable the quoting
of previous messages.
Why
didn't my post show up?
Your post most likely did not show up, because your browser
did not reload the page, it simply pulled it out of cache.
Please reload your browser and it should then appear.
Where
can I get the scripts for this program?
The scripts are written in Perl and created by Matt Wright. They are free to anyone who
wishes to use them and you can get them as well as other
scripts at: http://worldwidemart.com/scripts/.
Enjoy!
