Now i'm looking for a free/open source forum/bulletin board system.
I've always used phpBB2 but i'm thinking of using YaBB or the Simple Machines forum.....

QUOTE(Raptrex @ Jun 9 2005, 02:45 AM) where can i find a site to this? ive searched but couldnt find it I think the link for phpbb is www.phpbb.com... Most forums I visit are eiter phpbb, or someone just programmed their own forum.. I have two websites in planing, one of my own, and one I plan on making with a friend.. I guess I'll have to learn to install phpbb on my own, and set it up. We plan on using phpbb, so.. My recommendation is to use phpbb also.. It is easy, and has many different styles, and stuff.. Plus, my firend says phpbb is easy to extend, he does a little php programming, and has changed one of his forums (or is mod the word  )

i use phpBB2 becuase i find it very simple to use and easy to make modifications to, both in style and adding things like quick reply buttons, if you want to find some mods for phpBB try phpbbhacks.com

in my opinion .. i think that both phpbb and vbulletin is good ... phpbb is good for small site .. but if im running a big site then vbulletin is a must .. and vbulletin is not free

different sections like 5-6 times in 4 months. Here's your problem. Customers subliminally seek
