Older web forum software

Wasn't sure if this should go under programming or here...

I'm looking for some web forum scripts/software that would be from the mid to late 90's. Something that would be compatable and usable in IE4/Netscape Navigator and such. I understand their will be security risks with running it.

Thanks for any help/direction on this.

  • If you just want compatibility, then you don't necessarily need old software. Just a theme built to work with older browsers.

  • Could you point him into the right direction? What kind of labels can or cannot he use in the formatting?

  • You could start by looking up older HTML specs, but a lot of old browsers didn't pass standards compatibility, so the best way may just be a guess and check while developing. CSS support in those older browsers is fairly limited, so probably best to avoid it whenever possible. Start with a basic HTML template for the software you're usin and modify from there.

    There might even be a template already available depending on what forum software you go with.

  • You could try an old version of phpBB.
