Ikonboard

[prodeveloping]

What is the best free host for the Ikonboard? I tried F2S but they are down for the week. Does anyone have any experience with Tripod and the Ikonboard - since I already have a few accounts with them (a sad fact, I know).

Thanks a lot,

I installed iB at netfirms.com . It's fast and fits right for the needs of iB.

Thanks man! I knew as soon as I saw your name in the "online" list that you would be the first to answer.

Thanks again!

They all support Ikonboard?

Another thing is that I only installed the forum at netfirms and nothing else. Thats why it's fast.

Right, that's what I am going to do.

whatever you do, dont do TRIPOD.com for a CGI host. CGI is on another server so scripts such as ikonboard get f*cked up and you can use them!

Thanks for the advice - minus the explicative.

Take the hint, please no more swearing.

ok sorry...
