Best forum software

soulery

There are lots of them, and I've tried/used most of them.

I totally go for SMF

edit: sorry for the typo in my little forum

This is a tough one, IMO. I like the SMF base as it reminds me of Invisionboards (which is my favorite overall) However, it doesn't have nearly the amount of support as PHPBB. So, with a little effort PHPBB can be the superior forum. (I haven't tried v3 yet) I haven't tried YABB in a while... at least long enough where my opinion is invalid. I can't remember if I've tried the others.

(note: by "try" I mean from an administrator's perspective)

I like phpbb for a free forum software. The interface is really user friendly. I am currently using fireboard and I am verry happy with it.

phpbb is my fav. it has more options then the rest and if you have some ideas and some skill, you can make some really cool things with it Wink

Phpbb is good, but it's sometimes gets glitchy when you install mods.

I don't have very much experience, I use phpBB, and am not really having problems with it. I had a problem installing SMF on server2 but I still like it. Of all the boards I've posted on, I like VBulletin the best.

I doesn't know about others..but i use phpbb and thus i support phpbb always..I think this is more user friendly and easy to use system compared to others...(huh just general knowledge...)..

So i think phpbb is the best....

I thing SMF is faster then phpBB, but I don't know others.

I tried to use only PhpBB and I liked it. It’s easy to setup and use.
