wedjarl 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2004 vbulletin would be the best one if it would be for free, or a working trial version of it would be available. since its not, my choice is Invision. I like PhpBB but it is crippled with some features (although you could install mods on it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcguy 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2004 Personally, I prefer phpBB as it is easier to customise it, like its appearance and feel, inserting additional texts and so on.But I'll say IPB comes in very close on phpBB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

k221405241470 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2004 I think the best is IPB but isn't free, is it?PhpBB is good, but only for 3 days after that it's released, there are too many exploits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r3d1405241470 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2004 yeah ipb could be the best but commerial one, vbulletin is another one, free and easy to customize, might be a good choice than phpbb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hercco 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2004 phpBB because it's easy to install mods. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't say so... If your mods are not small ones. Sure mods are probably easier to install than in other systems because of the EasyMod but still it isn't easy. I just fought two nights with the categories hierarchy... Also phpBB needs mods as it hasn't that many featureas built-in. That's probably what has driven the developmnet of EasyMod. I use phpBB on my site but I would use vBulletin if I wasn't such a cheapskate. PhpBB 2.2 sounds very promising... Only of they could finish is someday...

musichere 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2004 I disagree about phpBB being easy to install mods in. There are definatley more modifications for the software phpBB than for any other software (e.g. Invision or vBulletin) but nevertheless they are probably more difficult to install. Also phpBB is overall harder to use that Invision Power Board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChronicLoser 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2004 i'm personally a fan of IPB, but sometimes making skins for them get very annoying. Wouldn't believe how long it took me just to make this simple skin: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/but invision all the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vietpost 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2004 phpBB you can install everything you want there are a lot of features... Also is free <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I will not vote for this guy. PhpBB are hard to hack mods. It takes you much time to modify both the php files and template files so that they get on well with each other. I have many problems changing the skin for my PhpBB board b/c I hacked to many mods and don't remember what mods should be added to the new skins. And of course, if you don't add enough the mods for your new skin, all the board will not work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
musichere 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2004 Question: Is the Invision Power Board version 1.3.1 that is included in the Fantastico package at Xisto a limited trial or is it the full version that used to be free (?). If so is it possible to convert it to phpBB2 without losing any user data and settings?Thanks for reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
