daniel151405241469 0 Report post Posted December 25, 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. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The Invision board 1.3.1 that is included in Fantastico is the Trial version. However, it is not limited (like they did to version 2). I'm sure if you look on the phpBB site you will find a converter for Invision Board... anyway, my favourite forum used to be invision board but it is now SMF (http://www.simplemachines.org/), its just so good!! And easy to mod (once you figure everything out). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OpaQue 15 Report post Posted December 27, 2004 PHPBB sucks.. please dont use it. there was a virus which was written in perl and which somehow was successful in sql injection. . It has affected many servers and nothing can be done bout it. also, the clients surfing that site are not affected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xeon 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2004 Invision Power Board has a lot of nice features like fast reply and its pretty customizable. The only thing is that its not completely free, while phpBB is completely free and open source. However phpBB doesn't have as many features and sometimes security is not good.

Yiah 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 I have been using phpBB3 for as long as it has been out. Before I did not like phpBB2 however this new version is awesome. It brings it right up to par with the other systems. I like it better than some of the paid scripts because of its large base community.Demo: free forum hosting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xChellesei 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2012 I used phpBB before. I liked it but I switched to vBulletin. I like Invision Power Board too but there's a mod that isn't present in IPB but present in vBulletin. I don't know if my search is just not enough but oh well... vBulletin for me now.
