I just discovered the following at the bottom of FAQs:

What software is used for this forum?

The software used to run this forum is called, Web Wiz Forums. Web Wiz Forums is a Bulletin Board System written using Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP) and designed to run on Windows based web servers.
So, does this mean as I fear, that Web Wiz Forums will not run on Unix based servers?

Web Wiz Forums will not run on Unix servers, it requires a Windows IIS web server.

For a full list of requirements please see:-

Hi Bruce-

What about Chili ASP?  Do you know of anyone using that software product for successful emulation of ASP with Web Wiz Forums?  Thanks.

Jamie-

Darn.  I really like Web Wiz Forums.  My personal website runs on a windows based server, but I was asked to set up a bulletin board for a club to which I belong, and migrating their website from a Unix to Windows based server is not an option.

Thanks to all who have responded to my questions.  Even though the answers weren't exactly what I wanted to hear, I really appreciate the support you have provided.

Have you looked at our Community Hosting Solutions. These are designed for people who host their sites elsewhere.

They start from £3.33 per month and include the Premium Edition for free for the life of the hosting account, saving you a bundle on licensing costs as well.

We also install and upgrade the software for you at no-extra charge, so it takes any all the technical work out of it for you.

For more information see:-
