Which bulletin board should I use for my forums? Invision Board, WBB or phpBB2? I want a board which is fast, has a lot of features (or hacks/add-ons) and suitable for popular forums.

Why not use vBulletin? It's got everything you mentioned.

If you want a free one, I would go with phpBB2.

I read somewhere that phpbb2 takes longer to load than the first version.... Is this true?

If I get enough money, I may convert to vBulletin in the future.

Thanks

I never used the first one, can't answer that.

Ok, thanks for your help.

I'll give phpBB2 a try :)

You are welcome, there is also quite a bit of information available if you do a search here. Lots of people would argue with my choice of phpBB2! :D

I've been using/testing it since the the early betas... November of last year if I remember correctly. It sure has come a long way since then.

I highly recommend it.

phpbb2 all the way :)

I would go with InvisionBoard (http://www.invisionboard.com). I am in the process of setting up a bulleting board myself and I did try phpbb. I had problems during the initial install and had asked for assistance on the phpbb forums. I know since I didn't pay for support, nobody has to help me, but that is what happened. Plus, all I read about on the phpbb forum was about people having problems. I then tried InvisionBoard and even I, a novice at this type of thing, had it installed and working in less than 15 minutes. Lately, I just haven't had the time to write everything for it and open it up. Hopefully, that will happen soon.

This is just my opinion, though. There are obviously a ton of people out there using phpbb and other free boards just fine. I prefer InvisionBoard hands down.

InvisionBoard, all the way.

I am running InvisionBoard as well. I just love it!

Ive been using WBB v1 for the past 4 months on my forums, 23,000 posts later and its still running sweet. I love wbb, although im planning to upgrade to vbulletin when Jelsoft release V3. :D

Probably takes longer to load because it is visually more sound....

Definitely Invisionboard.
