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.

according to my BF, Invision board is better on the admin side than phpbb. YMMV, of course.

I've tried both XMB and Invision Board software. Both are very good. 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. Very Happy

phpBB is the best all round. Invision is pretty awesome and has much more admin capability, but phpBB is easier to customize by a longshot. and it's snappy.

phpbb is my personally choice

If you can afford it, vBulletin all the way. Proud owner and administrator!

I know you have it narrowed down, but give YabbSE a try. 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.

I prefer phpBB, but it lacks some features that say, Invision has already (attachments, calander, etc.). Luckily, people have written mods and so it's not a problem. Smile

Ive only tried to install xmb (which went smoothly)
but Ive been member on a site with phpbb - I didn't like the look...

But maybe that is because Ive seen so many boards with xmb with so cool themes Smile

You're on an old version of phpBB right now. Anyway, you can customize the look of phpBB to pretty much anything you want...
