I like Invision just because its easy to setup and i have been using it throughout all my hostings in the past.

[NuHoaXuLa]

I like phpBB. It's not the best, there should be more features. But it's very easy and nice. With styles you can make it look good.
But i think that ipb may be the best. it's better than phpbb, i know. i haven't used vbullentin, so i don't know.

[badinfluence]

thks all for reply...

i wanna try ipb but it need to pay... any ideas plz?

[filipc]

I don't know which! Just kidding.

I think , best bulletin board is tForum. You can see heavy Modified version on www.elitesecurity.org

But phpBB , features isn't bad...but it's not good forum.

Because that haven't to much features as subforums , attachment...etc...

vBulletin , is ok , IPB is PERFECT.

Again , best is tForum.

[spawn_syxx9]

Yeah it seems that this is really nice and it is Invision. Though VBulletin isn't so bad.

[IsEeK]

Phbb is the best.

[Deaths Aprentice]

vBulletin by far

[alperuzi]

Best? Whaddaya mean by best?

For example if you don't have mysql and don't need a big board, then YaBB Gold is the best for you, you can run it anywhere.

phpBB is free and very common, easy to setup. One of the best for general purpose I would say.

vBulletin and IPB are "pro" boards, aimed for very large and active communities. Never ran one myself, but I'm sure they have the most features and least bugs. If your board gets a million hits per day, you may wanna upgrade to these...

I always seem to promote SMF Simlemachines Forum. It is currently on release candidates, and is still free, and I really like it. But it hasn't been around for very long and still has its bugs and lacks themes etc...

badinfluence you can install IPB 1.2 for free at your cpanel

Yes Vbulletin is the best.. it does cost alot but its awesome.. the features and mods in it are awesome...

[IvoMan]

I personally move towards PHPBB.

Of course vBulletin is one of the best boards you can get for Modding and doing anything you want with it, but its really not a FanSite board its more for the Businesses.

IPB in my opinion is a piece of s**t its got some of the worst modding features, and is a cramped looking forum software.

No for some softwares you may have not heard of OpenBB (http://www.openbb.com) is something that would be suggested for small websites for its basic design and the tools you can play with to make it what you want. Is like PHPBB and vBulletin put together.

whatever you want its all up to you there are heaps of forum softwares out there. If I wasnt running phpBB I would certainly go more towards the OpenBB!

Good Luck!

[Deaths Aprentice]

Youre right alperuzi about the pro stuff with forums.
vB is a very good board , the best and bug-free board around.
Its also got its own complete language , so mods are easyer to code (you must learn vB code though).
IPB is cheaper though , but has less mods.
The good thing about PHPBB is , that its open source , so you can optimise your board very easily (you must know PHP and HTML though).

PHPBB is the best to start off , but when you're gonna pay anyway , I'd save up a bit more and buy vB

[xboxrulz]

I say that MB 1.1.0 is my best choice for me

MercuryBoard.com

I really like Invision Power Boards. I think they are the best, a lot of people told me they are more user-friendly than phpBB, and I'd have to agree. The Admin Control Panel, has more features or is much better organized than phpBB Control Panel and I'm also used to IPB, the only set back is that Invision is starting to charge people for IPB boards.

Just my two cents .

[badinfluence]

i may b a lazy guy perhap..
where to get the avatars gallary and smilies for put in phpBB?

thks in advance

tForum's website does not exist. www.tforum.org

Well try finding the right bulletin board or forum system for your site at http://php.resourceindex.com or at http://www.hotscripts.com

Any more suggestions about forums and bulletins?

[h4sh]

i use vBulletin,is great for me

[Matthias]

People always tell me vbullitin is the best but Invision is nice too. Some other people also suggested to me burning boards, although I rarely see those.
