phpBB

So, hows phpBB? To my opinion, phpBB is the best forum software out there. Many styling options, many features, just the best Open Source Forum out there.

 

I dislike phpbb it is way to messy.

Making a theme for it not to easy due to their tags.

Installing mods on phpbb is like going back to the stone age.

Installing themes isn't to hard,but it could be easier.

All in all I dislike phpbb when compared to others like mybb and smf.

 

Well to tell ya the truth, if you use phpBB often, you will get used to it, and then theme installing, mod installing, and all those advanced stuff will be easy. Its easy for me because I've been using phpBB since 4 years ago, where I got into forums.

 

Yeah thats the thing. Why learn some so difficult when you have other forum software hat has everything phpbb has and even more. Plus the ease of use.

 

*sigh* well hopefully, phpBB4 will be finished soon

 

Yeah they haven't even started 3.1 so phphbb4 is far away =]. I do hope it is good though.

 

Well they are making phpBB4 right now. Its a rewrite so hopefully, its better to install mods

 

Incorrect it is only being planned. They are currently working on 3.1 then 3.2 .

 

I'm using PHPBB at the moment. I really like it. It's kind of hard to use as far as maintence goes and things like that, but I really like it overall otherwise.

 

I like phpBB. It's pretty easy to use.

 

Maybe there should be a phpBB3 category

 

We might later,but for right now we only have a mybb and other forum software section.

When more people come along and request it,it shall be done.

 

I think there mods are the easiest to install, just takes longer. phpBB3 overall in my opinion is the better, easier software.

 

Easiest mods to install O.O? You are crazy... They have the hardest to install. Their way of installing them is so outdated when compared to about every other major forum software.

 

But at least it has good layout!

 

I got to agree with NBK, when I had a friend trying to get phpBB mods instead he had a hell of time and always had to get help.

 

I'm not much for this software but I will say that phpbb 3 is a big set up from phpbb 2.

 

I think it's the simplest. it might not be the best, but it's from phpBB where I learned all about forums, so yeah. ^^
I'm using phpBB3 now and I like it so far. nice layout.
