If you ask me.. IPBnuke, its mostly for those who dont know how to integrate IPB into php-nuke instead of using phpbb(which i hate). Im using it because i dont know how to integrate IPB into php-nuke so i took the easy way out.

if you wanna see what it looks like, kinda... click my big sig(not the email one)

NOTE: IPB doesn not come with IPBnuke, you will either have to download it, or install the cpanel version and move it to your IPBnuke directory

your not alone i hate it too
the best content management system is E107
its has plenty of add-ons that you just upload and there ready
thats just my two cents

different people have different needs and preferences.

but if its your first CMS, you were right in asking for
a 1) good 2) easy to use with 3) lots of features.

For that spec, i would suggest starting with PHP-Nuke
for a few months before revamping your site with
any other even better and more need fulfilling CMS.

It has the biggest following because of its ease of use
and therefore the biggest community support. After
about 6 months of use you will be ready for many of
the others which are built upon it, like IPB-Nuke or
Post-Nuke and several others.

(BTW i dont think phpBB qualifies as a CMS)

just my 2/100

Therefore, I conlude that: Both of us have our own decision and freewill to choose what fits our needs for CMS.. we have hated and we have loved some.. So therefore, it doesnt really matter what your CMS may be.. the only thing that matters is the content of your site. Your preferences for your site...

Mambo is really nice. And very easy to install components and modules along with themes. Except its kindy not very good to read. It also can contain php forums which is reallly nice and have downloads.

php nuke, best and easiest to customize, when installing mods. unlike Invision

Ihave tried a few in the past and its hard to tell which one is best,

typo3 is nice but since its using its own scripting language the learncurve is kinda high

php-nuke looked nice had lots of features still I did not like the box methode it uses

xoops almost same as php-nuke only easier to costimice imo

I realy cant tell waht is the best since it realy depents on what you need or want, if you know how to code (php, asp or java) you could write your own cms manager which fits your needs but most people think (and I agree with them mosttimes) why should I reinvent the wheel if its already out there

I have used SiteWorks Professional and SiteDreamer but I do not like both.
SiteDreamer is little good but SiteWorks Professional is not.

Do Mambo is better than above??
I will try and will post again my comments.

I Think PHPNUKE Is Best But not Secure
PostNuke Is not Bad but Secure

I Think PHPNuke Is very Nice Portal Cms
Its Very Easy to Install and very nice To Edit and manage Site
and Its Easy to Work
I Like Work PHPNUKE Because PHPNuke support Multi Lan
But PHPNuke Doesnot have nice Template
