If you're using a Windows server you can use CDO with ASP

I'm guessing you're using a forum with
action="mailto:[email protected]". Use a server-side script instead.

Do you realize that you are not posting to a website forum when you use
this site. They are passing your posts on to the usenet newsgroup
alt.html

alt.html is a publicly available newsgroup. The website you are
using is stealing its content directly from there and pretending that it
is their own. There is no original material at all on the website you
are looking at now. It is all coming directly from usenet.

Sounds like you're using action="mailto:..." in your form. Don't. Use
a server side script instead.

It is actually a well designed front end for usenet groups, and it seems
to be quite practical to use if you don't have actual newsgroup access
or access to one of those groups. However, it doesn't seem to mention
anywhere on the site that all it is is just a front end for newsgroups;
basically, you can do the same thing via google groups. Sort of fishy...
when did this site pop up?

I suggest you obtain a newsreader and visit us at -
you will get a far better reaction to your question.

If you can not use a newsreader then http://groups.google.com will
provide you web based access into usenet, and they don't lie about the
content being their own.

Just curious, but has anyone actually emailed them and pointed this out to
them? Could be an honest mistake. Not likely, but possible.

You mean it is a honest mistake that they are stealing content :)

Heheh... no, I mean if you look at their site they do point out in some
instances that it is coming from a newsgroup, they may have overlooked that
they haven't done this in all instances. Like I said, not likely, but
possible.

I don't really know whether they are actually "stealing" content;
basically all they do is provide a web doorway to public newsgroup
content. It's nice and practical to have a lot of relevant newsgroups
presented in a web interface like this, nothing per se wrong with it.
But they definitely should be upfront about it.

It would help if you specified the (server-side) language you wanted the
source code to be written in. PHP? Perl? ASP? JSP? Cold Fusion?

You should realize that forum4designers.com is simply making a bunch of
newsgroups (in this case, alt.html) look like they're its own forums,
something that they most definitely aren't.

Which server side languages do you have available?
