CrazyRob 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2006 PHPBB 3 looks very promicing like jlhaslip said hees set it up on his pc. ive done exactly the same but on a tsting server to get a propper feel of it. The layout is good and the ACP is easier to use. when it is released there will be some bugs in it i can assure you. But mon the whole it as a great piece of forum software.

Sharn 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 Hmph. I was just going to say that. Oh well.You can get phpBB3 betas here:https://www.phpbb.com/development/And, uhhhh.... yes. There are a few mods and a couple very nice skins for phpBB3 out already. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/I, personally don't care they aren't supported. That's the way I like it. I have a beta set up at my Xisto. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/Feel free to register and check it out. There's a very nice AJAX chat box there. (Link at the top; same icon as search) Obviously - it supports some very nice features and allows for crazy skins. I really like it so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dooga 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 phpBB actually did quite a good job. I wonder what they do to make money.IPB actually has quite a similar forum except there's cost much more than phpBB! In my opinion phpBB is the best forum software! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeeCee06 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2006 This is looking very good so far, ive tried it on another server & I will probably switch after the final is released. Im currently using Simple Machines Forum software but I really hate their template selection. Noone who uses simple machines makes good templates so the only way to have a good one is if you make it yourself. It always seems that PHPBB has good mods and templates so when they make a converter from SMF 1.1 to PHPBB3 im gonna switch for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TeeCee06 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2006 I have the phpBB3 beta 4 installed on my trap 17 hosting account & it is simply amazing for a free software. I am very pleased with what they have done, especially with the admin control panel. I can't wait until the final release comes out so I can convert my Simple Machines Forum. I'm really starting to hate SMF... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rnichilo 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2009 is there still a free version of IPB at all? I will probably just use phpBB, it should be sufficient, but just curious, thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
