I want to create a message board similar to revleft but on my computer not online.

Do you mean that you want to build it offline then upload it when you've created it?

Correct, but with the ability to use it online and offline.

I don't understand what you are trying to do.

Do you understand the basic concept of the internets?

I don't think what you want to do can be done.

Rock on!

Websites may exist offline. If you understand html you can create something in notepad. I think... I made an offline website for a tafe project using macromedia flash. Firstly, do you have the knowledge/experience/patience to make one? However, you can't actually connect with others offline...

Yeah, you can create it "offline." You need to install the Apache web server and configure it to run with PHP and MySQL. Then download some forum software like phpBB (free and open source) or IPB (which is what RevLeft uses). Seems like a waste of time to me though -- maintaining your own web server can be a lot of work.

To add on, try to download and install a distribution of Linux(Ubuntu, ArchLinux, Fedora), once installed you can download Apache, which is a web server and then mySQL for the database needed by phpBB which is the forum software.

You then have the option of keeping your forum offline, to keep others from accessing it. :star:
