PHP2 Forums - http://www.phpbb.com Ikonboard - http://www.ikonboard.com Invision Board - http://www.invisionboard.com Your opinions and feedback? I can't decide on one of those. Looking for most flexibility in template design, chat option, and PHP enabled. Thanks.

Invision is a little more powerful than XMB, but XMB is somewhat easier to customize your skin and templates than Invision, which is a bit more complicated and lengthy. Thanks for your reply.

Invision is pretty awesome and has much more admin capability, but phpBB is easier to customize by a longshot. and it's snappy. _________________ ...do you believe that? -transmothra, KSC [url]mp3.com/transmothra[/url]|[url]meat-thing.com[/url]|[url]technothrope.com[/url] [url]subgenius.com[/url]~[url]adbusters.org[/url] Back to top mrlarter Joined: 14 May 2003 Posts: 55 Location: Halifax, NS Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2003 7:25 am    Post subject: invision has some security problems and causes load erros..a lot of hosts have it banned... phpbb is my personally choice Back to top Geronimo Joined: 03 May 2003 Posts: 48 Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2003 7:59 am    Post subject: I prefer Invision.

I have tried them all and settled on it about a year ago. See it at my site: www.la-legal.com/forum and then try downloading and testing it from the Yabb site, if you're interested.

Luckily, people have written mods and so it's not a problem. _________________ http://www.viper007bond.com If you haven't already installed b2, I advise you look into WordPress or b2evo instead as b2 is dead.

You're on an old version of phpBB right now. Anyway, you can customize the look of phpBB to pretty much anything you want... _________________ http://www.viper007bond.com If you haven't already installed b2, I advise you look into WordPress or b2evo instead as b2 is dead.
