Thanks again, Dunny
(Understand though I honestly am not the expert on that....
You might not be an expert (i wouldn't know). But i'm having a hard time asking a simple question.
Might be that may lack of understanding the term "archive" and other tech terms is preventing you from understanding what i'm asking.
The vast majority of the webstie is primarily a news site. We have a small forum attached, small but with sentimental value.
Can the "archived," read only, big newsite have a small section which is live and interactive?
At this point i'm thinking no. But i'm not sure.
Again, the site's owner is older and wonderful but he admits to not being up on the tech stuff like he used to be. He's not sure how his newsite will be be preserved. (don't want to name it publicly but it's a big one)
again thanks for your patience,
