A Good Forum

acburst
Im looking for a good reliable forum for my website. I dont really have the money to spend 100s of dollars on them so what are the best free or cheap fourms, but still work well and are able to have cool looking templates.

any suggestions would help, so i can check them out. thanks

Check out AEF Forums at their Board

Download a copy from their main page

Of course, I am prejudice towards it, since I Moderate that Forum and assist with the Development a little, too. tongue.gif

i'd personaly advise simple machine forum : http://www.simplemachines.org/ :

it has lots of feature the default look is not the best but there's a lot of third party theames that you can add

I used phpbb3 before i bought my vbulletin license. It worked fine and was nice.

Also here are some links that will help u compare different forums: http://www.forummatrix.org/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of...tware_%28PHP%29

Note I suggest a forum coded in php that is compatible with a mysql database

I would go with simplemachines.org Their free and have excelent forums. They got a lot of themes that you can view as a demo in just one whole site! www.smfthemes.org

Moderations are good. They got a lot for ad manager incase you want or don't want ads.

Goodluck with your forums;

  4. Multiple Forum Skins
    To have, or not to have? (6)
    Hey all, I'm just starting up a forum on my hosting here, and I was wondering, how do people
    here feel about having multiple skins? I think just having the default skins that come with the
    forum and maybe one or two added on that match the style of the forum a little better, but what do
    you think? Should I have a dark/light added on, in addition to the default skins? and should I
    leave the forum default as one of the included skins? or something that fits in with my idea of what
    the forum looks like a little better? thanks for your opinions /smile.gif" style="vert....

    Is the PHP code convertable? (1)
    I use Proboards Forums, which doesn't allow PHP. I've been looking for a RPG forum game for
    Proboards. But sadly, they only come in PHP. So, I was wondering, is it possible to convert that PHP
    into HTML? Can Java Script be converted into HTML, too? Some of these codes are in java, as well.
    If you don't know, the RPGs have stats, classes, battling, shops, ect. I've seen it on many
    forums. I know that boards like InvisionFree abd PHPBB are great for this kind of thing, but I feel
    comfortable on Proboards. Plus, those boards confuse me. I know it's sil....

    time I checked, the version on the fantastico was something like 2.17. The newest production
    version is phpbb 2.21 and it includes all the latest fixes and bug squashes. The 'new'
    phpbb is version 3.0 Beta 2. This means it is not yet suitable for an actual production environment,
    but it is solid enough to be made available to user for testing. Phpbb 3 Beta 2 version....

    whole page - a but squashed, but everything was in the window without having to scroll horizontaly.
    I made some adjustments without interfering with column widths, but now previews require horizontal
    scrolling to view the page. Previously the text links in the centre column would wrap to cater for
    the smaller browser size, but not now. Also, at the foot of the page there is a b....

    neraly finished. They have enlisted the help of their own community to make small things to help.
    Like RSS feeds (of topics, forums and categorys, even teh whole board) the reason its version 3 and
