Im making a new forum, and Im want to know from you guys, what do you think is better?
Invision or phpBB
-
IPB is WAYYYYYYYYYY better, phpBB has alot less features.
-
And with my first board with phpBB, I notces that there are no style sheets. You chooise from a template, which really sucks.
-
Actually, there are style sheets but a full skin set is called a template on phpBB.
-
Ya, what I meant was it in not like Invision were you can mually edited to coding and skin.
-
You can edit the coding to it in phpBB.
-
I say phpBB since its so simple to hack/mod (not becoming admin or anything, I mean adding new features and stuff). Administration wise, phpBB is the far better choice, but IPB definitely kills phpBB on the user mode.
Also remember, IPB is $80 a year.

How much is it?
I thought the newest version was 1.3.1?
-
No IPB 1.3.1 is outdated and IPB is 69.75$ a year not 80$ unless you pay 200$ for it the first time but you need a web server for it.
-
Im trying to find a free phpBB forum hosting site.
The home page dosen't work, anyone know somewhere else?
-
phpBB sucks compared to any version of IPB even the first version.
-
If I wasn't already using IPB, I would use PhpBB. I like that it is free and open source.
-
Well I used phpBB.
Just because one, it is faster to set up, two, I suck with colour scheming for IPB, and three it doesn't take as much work to handle.
-
Here's why IPB is better.
1.) More Features.
2.) More customize.
3.) Much more professinaonl looking.
4.) Easier to make skins.
-
Ya, I agree IPB is better, but I suck with it.
phpBB is faster, so I took the cheap way out.

I like IPB a little better. Since it's more easier for me.
-
Yeah IPB is alot easier for me as well.
-
I dont see a big differance. I vted IPB because its SZ forums.
PS. Have you heard of Yabb?
-
YaBB is a horrible forum system, I've hated it ever since it existed. It is exactly like ProBoards.
-
phpBB is great if you don't want to spend any money.
-
Yeah phpBB can be pretty good but it has no subforums. I think they just released a new version this week.
-
Just get 1.3.1. It's free and it's great. I use IPB 1.3.1 for my site and I like how simple it is.
I suggest IPB.

You can't get IPB 1.3.1 anymore unless you know someone that has it or if you have an auto installer of it in cPanel.
-
What about the new versions of IPB and PHPBB? I think PhpBB has gotten way better.
-
Yes, I imagine 5 years is enough to do quite a bit of software development...

Bumps everywhere, man.
