How do you all like phpbb3? I downloaded it and i am going to upload it soon. So, what are the pros and cons about this forum software? Admin CP? The one thing I would like is custom BBCode. Does it have that?

I think phpBB3 is really good. It's not too complicated to use. It has great funcionality, and I find that the Admin CP is more organized than in other forum softwares.

I am somewhat duly impressed at the upgrade. The new User Control Panel looks sharp and is well organized, compared the the one in version 2. It reminds me a bit of the administrator console in SMF.
The pos screen looks a bit better too, but there aren't many real improvements. Mostly just the same elements rearranged, with the addition of the file upload panel. |

I am very happy with the new phpBB3. It's built in with a lot more features. Before, I would take phpBB2 and add 100s of hacks to get exactly what I wanted. Well, when I did that, my MYSQL database filled up really quickly, and loading times went through the roof. phpBB3 is much more efficient than phpBB2 ever was, but I still prefer vBulletin.

I like the new style of phpbb3, as it looks modern, but as flajcsi touched on, I wouldn't use it at the moment, not at least until it comes out of beta, mainly because there are no mods, styles or virtually anything available for it at the moment, so unlees you are willing to take a couple of days to edit the old styles, it isn't really worth using it yet.
While there are some extra functions built in, it doesn't have many of the custom mods which I've then tweaked for phpbb2, and it would be far easier to tweak pre-made mods, as opposed to rewrite them from scratch, so... I might consider it if there is an easy upgrade route from 2 to 3, but I'm afraid i'll be sticking with phpbb2 for quite a long time yet! |

I think I seen little of mods out there but not alot...have you tried googe-ling it?  And yes, PHPBB did recommend not to use it until it is officially done..can't wait though
