Invision Powerboard is difficult to use. I tried it once. Installing a MOD is very difficult. You have to edit the code of invision powerboard.

I myself use vBulletin.
I used to have an invisionfree forum, when i started my community.
I didn't like the options you got, there were just too few.
So, soon I got myself a very bad free host, and hosted a PHPBB board on it.
Then, I found trap17, got myself some posts and uploaded that same PHPBB Board.
While scrolling around in the Cpanel, I found the IPB installer.
I always wanted an IPB Board, so I installed that right away.
After that, I was thinking of getting a professional host, and made some polls at some forums to ask which forum was best.

Many people then sayd that vBulletin was the best, so I tried the online demo.
I was instaltly amazed by its many options, it's oh-so flexible template system, and it's huge range of hacks!
I went on with my research, and found that vBulletin was one of the best boards to install hacks on.(one of my hobies).
I then bought vBulletin, and uploaded it to my trap17 account.

Now, I'm still using that same vBulletin board, on that same trap17 account smile.gif.

If you have a lot of free time, and you're good with vBulletin, you can even make a lot of money by coding hacks for other companies! (something I do now).

They said vBulletin, it's eay to modify it's templates, is this true? So, if your hobbie is to create hacks for vBulletin, then are you telling me that it's easy to make hacks and templates for vBulletin? Try Simple Machines... and WowBB.

They are really cute. http://www.simplemachines.org http://www.phazeddl.com/search.php?q=WowBB

Heh, there is a difference between installing hacks and coding them wink.gif.
Editing templates in vBulletin, and installing hacks, is extremely easy.

Coding them, is harder. Still, coding hacks for vBulletin is easyer than coding them for IPB, but harder than coding for PHPBB.
PHPBB has more limits though.

vBulletin also has a big hack writing helpfull community, and if you would really need help (screwed up while upgrading or something), someone can help you out for ~10 $ !

People like me (vBulletin hack coder) aren't rare at all, so you will find lots of help at the vbulletin.org forums smile.gif. (vb.org is the vbulletin hack community)

So, the point is PHPBB sucks or it has limits while vBulletin has none? I thought IPB is the best and stable? What about Simple Machines?

PHPBB sucks, once you tried vB wink.gif.
IPB is stable, because it is harder to modify.
vB is easy to modify, and mistakes just aren't parsed.(e.g. you added a wrong piece of code in the templates, so it won't show up).
Once you them install another hack, which then uses that code, your system will not perform at its maximum.

IPB is used most, because it's the cheapest compared to vB.
I never tried simple machines, so I can't judge that one.

vBulletin is used by 2 groups:
1. Big rich companies, who can afford the yearly license cost/the high buying price.
2. People who like coding, and like coding hacks.

If you want, you can go to vbulletin.org, find a hack you wanna see, then use this site to download it.

i used phpBB for a while, but i always added the modifications and i found almost none were ezmod compatible as well as alot conflicted with eachother, so eventually i screwed up my site enough for it to not allow users to register because it could not find the visual confirmation pictures and there were more errors similar to that.
eventually i switched (and am still currently using) phpNuke platinum. it has over 200 pre-installed mods and has some kool themes/skins and is just as versitile as phpBB. you can even get templates and that proted from phpBB to phpNuke.

I don't like how forums appears when using vBulletin. It's like it's not professional. In IPB, it's like you have a forum that is very expensive! laugh.gif

So, vBulletin is the answer? Is there any version of vBulletin that is premodded? How can I get vBulletin for free? I have no money! sad.gif

phpNuke is good... But I suggest that you must not use any CMS software because it's not challenging. Challenge yourself. Challenge your PHP knowledge. Create a PHP-based website from scratch... Your PHP knowledge will also improve.... smile.gif
