Your phpBB experience?

I love that about it. They are very good, Not the cleanest but they have alot of good ideas for the software they just need to improve it. Everytime I have used the software it seems to get more members commenting on it than other forums does.

 

phpBB is good, but they certainly need some improvement and Im sure they are working on it. I will say though to the fanboys.. phpBB is not the best.

 

1.0.0? Wow, you've been working with this since day 1 practically! No wonder you're so good with mods and the technical end of things. Way to go, Rich!

 

Hi all, i am using PhpBB in my forums and i am very happy with it. It is a great software as it is free and good. It has a great design and you can have a huge forums using PhpBB. Basically, my experience with PhpBB is great. I have no isues, no bugs, nothing!

 

Good to hear, you don't have issues with installing mods as its very complicated?

 

It isn't complicated..... Maybe because i use it from much time ago, but i find it easy. When you really like soemthing, you can do all!

 

Of course you can, but still doesn't change the fact that its complicated while other solutions such as MyBB have it much easier.

 

Yeah..... MyBB is easier than phpBB, and i like it too, i used to have it as forum software, but i always loved phpBB design. It look profissional and better for game-servers forum.

 

I have seen great themes for both of the software. But it all depends on what you prefer. Back on topic: Your phpBB experience?

xD

 

I find the admin panel confusing, I'm always asking for help It is probably just hard at first but then you get use to it.

 

Yea it was very confusing for me during my first time... you will get the hang of it

 

I like it because it is free. also widely available for good themes. so far I still found difficulties in modification. when I want to add chat box and ads. also a bit difficult in the update. meaby because i'm still learning.

 

Yea thats what everyone mostly hatess about it.. its so complicated and not easy like MyBB or other free alternatives. I do like alot of phpBB themes, there are some very nice ones available.

 

When I started, phpbb2 was the big thing. THEN phpbb3 came out and it was sooo amazing with its ability to add sub-forums.

 

ROFL Haha... sorry just had to laugh at this.

 

I'm kind of indifferent about phpBB. While it had a big part to play in shaping the current crop of software, I've never been a major fan of it as either a user or administrator.

 

I dont mind being a member on a phpbb forum, but I sure would not use phpBB again as my choice of software on any forum. I would rather use MyBB, a better competitor.

 

I'm getting so frustrated with installing things using phpBB, To some it's easy, but not me... some time the directions or not corrected, or what your looking for is not there... if PC wasn't around... I wouldn't be using phpBB...

 

Well if it really is that frustrating (Which it is) why not convert over to a MyBB?
