Phpbb Or Invision Power Board ?

dontmaimyourself
I would also recommend phpBB2, mainly becuase it is free and that there are loads of mods and themes available for it, but I'm sure you already know that. I was never one for Invision but it if you are willing to pay i'm sure it can be just as good, anyway seeing as they are both installable through the cPanel (I think) you could easily try them both out.

i think invision board is much easyer... the admin cpanel is way better rhan phpBB. And you got much more skins and addons for IPB.

I would probably have to say phpbb 2. Everyone uses it. But if i got another vote it would go to vbulliten.

IPB is definitely better if you've the money for it, cause ipb is paid and phpbb is completely free, so if you're rich go to IPB, if not turn to PHPBB...

phpBB because I think its safer then IPB.. Also, i like the "feel" of phpbb too..

well what do you really mean by "safer"? If you do a simple search you'll findout that there are many more exploits for phpbb than for IPB. dry.gif
my choice is from far IPB. It' better, faster, stronger than phpBB. But of course if you can't afford it phpBB is a good choice. wink.gif

phpbb is definitely not safer than IPB, since they keeps upgrading their software fixing minor bugs and that webmaster hate phpbb due to the fact of its bug exploit and thus decided to wait for phpbb3 instead of starting it now...

IPB is my favourite, its has the most mods/hacks and the admin cp is much better than the phpbb one.

I think the security is much better and it is much safer and it looks the best biggrin.gif.

    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,

    really got better since version 2. On http://phpbb.com . The only thing is they don't really

    neraly finished. They have enlisted the help of their own community to make small things to help.

  17. Invision Power Board Help

    It is stated that IPB software above 2.0.1 is considered paid software and is illegal to have a copy
    unless you purchase a liscense. IPS checks boards by adding ?ipscheck=1 at the end of the address
    and if you see --, then it is a trial, #,# would mean its registered, and other messages would
    probably mean its illegal. I have a copy of Invision Power Board 2.0.1 which can be located here:
    http://forum.kev.trap17.com If you look at the bottom, it says Powered by Invision Power

    (2)
    I personally do not like euther of them except for the fact that they are both very secure. But i
    think that to many people have them and that they are a little over used. My boards are pretty
    common but tghey are not used nearly as much as Invision or PHPBB. And for all of you that aer
    ecurious I am running the WhiteFyre source. I think that it looks a little better than the rest of
    them and is a little easier to use than the rest of this.
