iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 I' have both but I need to choose which I should use..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 27, 2005 I do hope you have licenses for both if you're going to use them. I would say iPB, it's easier for a newbie. However, if you have experience before runnning a vBulletin forum, then go for vBulletin. The vBulletin admin cpanel can be quite confusing for a newbie.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 Regarding PHPBB and Vbulletin they both dont have a graphical interface as IBP has and IBP is a user friendly board so it is easy for use and you can do any changes within a minute as there are many options to do certain jobs so i prefer IBP is the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 yea i still think vbulletin is easier than ipb....but thats just what im used to i use it on like 4 sites because i help them out with their forums and to me its very easy to get around....then i tried ipb and there was too many html templates to edit....it was harder to find stuff then on vbulletin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 i think its better to go with what you are comfortable with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 "]i think its better to go with what you are comfortable with.I would have to agree with him on that. It is easier to work with the board that you are more familar with. I thought of getting into IBP, but I am not used to the scripts. So I stayed with phpBB. And I love the mods that come along with phpBB. PhpBB have more add-on mods with everything free! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 2, 2005 phpbb has alot of mods but mods are alot easier to install on vbulletin...its alot less editing...and if u have access to the mods then there are a whole lot more than there is for phpbb and better qality mods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However there is no free access for those mods. You have to have a license of vBulletin to access those mods.For phpBB, all is free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
