heh... coming into here, without even saying a single hello and wanting us to work for somebody we don't even know... I just love this kind of .... and I think i'm not the only one... how about learning PHP or ASP? they're both easy enough to learn them within 1 wekk... and, HTML should be _no_ problem at _all_

lol sorry...i guess i do sound really demanding and stupid. I tried to learn it...but it seems really tough, but I guess I'll give it another shot.
Can you recommend any good places for a beginner? Tutorials for things that might be useful in creating memberships and points the members get? (If that makes any sense at all...)
Thanx (and sorry lol)
Jamie

Oh and also...what type of programming would I need? Perl? PHP? ASP? I have no idea what they are...do I need to know all of them to create something like this?

Heh I dont think U need to know anything at all to make "something like this". The YPN use some php that they downloaded from phpbb.com. (_not_ cool)
And dont use asp...last time I checked it was some kind of microsoft shit. Write ur _own_ php to make a cool site.
Plese do _not_ think I know anything about this subject.

if it makes you happy, we're working on our own msg board atm. It will ship with the new engine for the site

well, sorry for being like that Anyways, PHP is quite easy to install and learn. All you need is a webserver which supports PHP. Almost every webhosting service supports it these days. Also, installing apache with PHP is no challenge anymore today. There are packages like phptriad (did I spell it right? it's something like that, google for it ), which install apache, php and mysql, without needing you to configure those packages.
PHP is also really easy to learn. http://www.php.net 's manuals are more than just great. By reading those you can learn PHP without any other programming experience.
and, I really don't recommend ASP. Not because it's M$, no. But it runs only natively on IIS (the M$ webserver), and that thing is full of security holes. There _are_ some modules for apache to get asp running tho. But it might be a pain to get them running.
Perl on the other hand is also quite easy to setup, but with perl you'll hit the limits for serving dynamic pages quite fast imho. Also, it's rather more complicated to learn than PHP, because there is no such good online manual for Perl like there is for PHP.
I would recommend you to learn PHP. Easy, you can learn it fast, you can write things with it fast and it's free
