phpbb3 is a hell of a lot better than phpbb2 biggrin.gif i was using it on the demo.

I think they are hosting the beta version now of phpbb3.

These are some of the phpbb3 features you get.

Yeah, phpbb3 is really good. I got it after I got the hang of phpbb, and then I moved up to IPB. wink.gif

PhpBB or Invision for me. I'm more used to the InvisionFree version of the Invision Power Boards, its slightly simple but more easier to use as a user and as a admin.

In my opinion, phpBB is the best forum software. It's easy, full featured, very customizable, and very popular.
Just try it out on this host : free forums

Try www.Forumotion.com. I've been using it for a year now. And it had just 1 down server (server not found time). The forums can't be hacked, the admin panel is easy to use, you can chose from phpbb2,3, invision and punbb. All versions are not the same, on forumotion you have more modules (reputation, thanks button, portal..). Also, if you know coding, you can edit everything with html or you can edit the desing manuali (picture by picture, color by color without any coding) or with CSS coding.
Also they have support forums with tons of people that help each other with their forumotion problems. www.help.forumotion.com
I recommend it to everyone, just try it and you will see.

    hosting any site in langueges other than English is forbidden. But I carefully check that when I
    registed, there is no language limition. They added this limition after my register. But they

    waiting room, and I invited a few of my friends. They signed up, but they don't have much to

  18. Sobriety Of Forum Members (poll) - Are you completely HIGH??? (13)
    I occurred to me a while ago that many of the writings on this forum are either from complete
    imbeciles or that many times people who are "contributing" are totally high or drunk. We got to
    discussing this in the shoutbox the other night and I decided to start a poll on the topic. I
    confess I'm not always totally sober when I'm on, but I've never been drunk either.
    Getting high isn't something I do anymore. Most people grow out of that sort of thing after they
    get out of college and have to face the real world. Alright, have at it! Are you high, drunk, hi...
