ok guys, I’m new to this whole forum thing. However, I know two brains are better than one so without further ado, my problem.

I have been asked to design a site for my friends, a band site. They want me to put a messageboard up and a counter. I have done it but it just looks really bad. I want it to be part of flash, right now it is just html on a page and a link to another page. Can I make a messageboard in flash or do I need another program for that. Or, I fear, am I stuck with plain old html? Please let me know. Thanks.

If any of you wanna check out the site, I have a lot of work to do yet but I always could use some advice, its at [www.moovemusic.com](http://www.moovemusic.com).

its a complex thing and if you aren’t very good at Flash or Server-side scripting it would be a pain in the rump
