does tripod offer mysql and php support?

you could go download something like [http://www.phpbb.com]phpBB[/url] upload it to your account, and install that.

i believe there is a file called "installation" or "readme" that will better assist you.

According to http://www.tripod.lycos.com/compare/compare.html Tripod does not support MySQL.

If you don't know how to install, you can try MyIkonboard which is a remotely hosted forum - yep free.

What about creating a phpbb forum?
The most simple and efficient to create a forum, imho

Hope this can help!

Most host offer you forum software for free with their hosting plans.
using Fantastico section of control panel you can install phpBB and invision board and other forums for free.

Tripod os a free hosting service than alows you to make a free online website. It's a bit like piczo or freewebs! mate, if you wanna' make a forum you need payed hosting and HTML and PHP knowledge!

I'm twelve and I know that!
