I'm not entirely sure what kind of script I'm looking for. Something similar to what <A HREF="http://www.deviantart.com">www.deviantart.com</a> or <A HREF="http://www.deskmod.com">www.deskmod.com</a> have but much much simpler. Basically I want the script to accept anyone's submission, but they would have to be approved before being posted, and the submissions would be posted onto a site as links like: Title of Submission 1 Title of Submission 2 Title of Submission 3 So the title of the submission would be the link (thumbnails might be a plus). When you click on them, it takes you to a page with the art graphic and a caption. It's similar to a bulletin board but I'm not looking for a bbs script. I just want my FanArt site to be automated. How would I find a pre-made script like this that I could tailor to my needs? Does such a thing exist? All help is welcome, thanks in advance.

do it yourself you're the better placed to do so, and seem to have the skills what to do with submissions is trivial for you how to "approve" them "before posting" is easy : -insert into a specific table "candidates", -send yourself a warning/alert email or put a poller robot on that table -review submissions in an html form with two buttons : accept (move submission from "candidates" to "online") or "reject" (move it to "trash" table or delete purely and simply)

See that's just the thing, I don't have any experience in the actual coding of PHP, I've edited and manipulated some scripts in the slightest degree, but other than that nothing really. How hard is PHP to learn compared to say, Visual Basic?

as easy. PHP is as easy to learn as BASIC of the ol'days of "personal" (home) computers (not PCs ;-) If you already know a "strong typed" language (Pascal, C++ etc) it's rather immediate to master PHP, all you need to know is 1)PHP has polymorphic variable types, 2)there are some tricks to know, like the required GLOBALS $globalvar; inside the scope of a function to access a "global" variable called $globalvar. If you worked with C and the like, then it's even more immediate, but beware of typecasting ;-)
