Well I looked on Yahoo and found this one called Invision Board. It has a free trial version, maybe this will suit?

@Vash thanks for the input your knowledge is astounding really.(flaggo sucking up). I need advice from you or anyone. I need support financially around 150 to 200 pounds. It doesnt have to be from one person it can come from many.It just has to add up to those amounts a month roughly. See I designed this method for making kick ass graphics for games. I kinda want to perfect it in a program like gamespace or 3d studio max.but I dont have them. Now Im stuck with 3d canvas 6. Theres new things on my site check it out. To avoid banners try this [href]http://www.freewebs.com/flags-world/[/href](sorry for the long message)let me know what you think of my site and how to make it better.(the free models are on their way)

Hmm... to make your site better, u need better graphics. Maybe cool looking buttons and a new banner would make the site a lot better. Perhaps you can show a screenshot or two of your programming work and put it on the front page. After all, the front page is supposed to tell what the whole site is about, like the cover of a book, and unfortunately some people judge a book by its cover. Make that nice and incorporate it into your other links and it will look nice.

the website is built on a free service and uses its templates. So ill see what I can do. AS for the pictures of my work they'll be available in the next couple of weeks.Thanks for the input.
ps
consider the material on my site then rate it on a scale of 1 to 10.

To make it better.Ps I got hold of a 3d studio trial really good. Im gonna buy it and distribute models for games on my site for free.What do you think.(Im a better modeller than I am a web designer)

Umm I can do it theres one catch though. The webhost has Huge banneers on top. Like my news page has.will it be worth it. I am going to make it look super cool though. Flash pics and every thing
Cause my current site can't support the things i wanna do.So i have to use that host plus my adress wont change. Let me know Ive started getting my material together already and making some myself.
