Re: message board

Guestbook is probably your best bet. Or you could create a simple one yourself. What coding knowledge do you have? Just google 'Free Guestbook Scripts' or something.

Generally, what you'd be looking for is a Blog. You want to make posts, and then users can comment. Kind of like this.

When I first started out, I looked for something similar to this, and came close to it too. This group promised to set up a system for placing an includes code, putting a comment box, etc on the bottom of a page.

I believe this may also be close to what you are looking for.

Hope this helps,
Ed

Re: message board

No vivara, he will want a forum.
A blog is very ineffective way of posting and tracking job offers whereas a forum would be great.
Try something like phpbb and then if you want a better forum I recommend you buy vbulletin(what this forum runs on).

Re: message board

I dont think vBulletin is suitable for him. I'd recommend phpbb or SMF.
