Hi Guys!
Could any one please recomend the best forum script that is easier to install, has many features, can habe multiple sections and allow me to customise the html I mean including adding my logo.

Thanks i advance for any comment.

any coment plaese?

I would suggest either XMB (http://www.xmbforums.com) or OpenBB (http://www.openbb.net)....


I haven't used OpenBB, but from the demo's the templates are easy to edit.. But i have used XMB, and it works very well.....

Try the search (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/search.php?s=) button above. This has been discussed a dozen times.

I would recommend you check out phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com/).

I would recommend openBB or phpBB. XMB is fairly new but looks good also, i have no experience with using it though.

You may want to check out ikonboard.com. Another one that comes to mind is phorum.org.

One question... Why is this in the Biz forum???? :D

Moved to the lounge now...

I personally like YaBB....
http://yabb.xnull.com

I've heard that YaBB is a resource hog, and when I tried to install it on my computer I had many problems. Then again I only tried for 5 minutes. I've used OpenBB on my website, however last week the database self destructed so I just installed XMB since it came with Cpanel and haven't had any problems, but it's not like I get all these visitors to cause a ton of stress on it.

I say VBulletin or XMB.

After looking at nearly every BB there is I would have to say phpbb2 is the best. http://area51.phpbb.com

I would recommend Burning Board (wBB). Get it from www.woltlab.com/en/news.php. It's free, easy to install, lot's of features, good admin panel and extensive customisation options.

phpBB2 should be released soon according to its developers. I'm using one of their pre-release builds and it rocks! :)

Check out the latest news on it at phpbb.sourceforge.net (http://phpbb.sourceforge.net)

Burning board is a lovely alternative... :)
I really like its ease of installation and it's really feature rich... :)

Have a great day :)

I think phpBB2 is going to give VB some good competition once the final release is out. phpBB2 RC-2 was just released today and more info can be found here (http://phpbb.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4388)

I have used Ikonboard in the past...they have just released a new version as well. Worth considering.

Thanks Guys, I finally got YaBB it is easy to install, customise and administer also it doesn't require any dbase att-all I am really happy with it.

you can see it Live here: http://www.timnetprovider.net/cgi-bin/yabb01/YaBB.cgi

This is a tad late as you have already chosen.. but I've used YaBB, Ikonboard and phpBB... and I think phpBB is defiantly the best.. easily customizable.. (I don't even have a forum.. I just customize it.. it is fun..) it is great if you don't know PHP, it will teach you.. :) and if you want to create a portal, it is easy.. there are some modded versions out there to download..

I was deciding which software to go with.
Finally, I decided on Burning Board, since I heard so much good stuff about it.

If you are running nt or w2k try this one: http://forum.snitz.com

hehe, the best forum out there, is the one you build yourself with PHP/MySQL :stickout :D ;) :) :cool: :eek:
