daniel151405241469 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2004 invision board is free if you use the trial version. i'm not really sure why but i like Invision Board better, because you can get stuff such as IBShop/IBStore for it.well, what i think is any forum is good if it does what you want it to do and has the features you need Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted September 5, 2004 PhpBB is a better forum for customising, it have a nice design, and you can easyly find some themes.Invision Board is better for a bisness forum, it is better protected from hackers and errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jcguy 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2004 Astahost uses IPB and a portal setup can be achieved as you all can see here, but I'm not sure if phpBB allows you to set up this portal thing too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabius 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2004 I'm using IPB to, and Yauws's portal. I just like the fact that you can easy upgrade your site with another skin almost fully automatic. There are more options to I think with IPB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
