Okay this topic will kind of be to see others thoughts on other forum software and see which is best for you and such.
Just state the pros and cons of each forum software you have used 🙂.
btw if this does not belong here go ahead and move it 🙂.
Alrighty I will go first -
Invisionfree
Pros:
1. Probably the most known forum software
2. Alot say it is the easiest to use.
3. Many mods and skins for it
4. The acp is very easy to get around
Cons:
1. Long url name
2. Not very secure
3. Outdated compared to proboards and zetaboards
Zetaboards
Pros:
1. Alot more secure then invisionfree
2. Easy ACP
3. Alot of mods
4. Comes with a flash bbcode
Cons:
1. Long url name
2. When I tried it,it was hard to find a decent skin and hard to make a skin for it.
Proboards
Pros:
1. Another very well known forum software
2. Making skins for proboards is easy as one two three
3. Alot mods for proboards
4. Not to long a url name as IF and ZB
Cons:
1. Not as noob friendly
2. The ACP is a bit odd and hard to get use to
IPBFREE
Pros:
1. Alot of mods to install in a few clicks
2. Great skins
3. Short and Simple url
4. Skins are easy to make
5. Invisionfree skins work with ipbfree
Cons:
1. Even though there are alot of mods it uses a point system 🙁. This is to be fixed in version 3.0 though.
2. There are alot of great skins,but hard to find them 🙁.
3. I find the ACP on ipbfree the hardest of any free forum software :/.
PHPBB3
Pros:
1. Probably the most customizable
2. ACP is clean and simple
3. Alot of mods and skins
Cons:
1. Only one that I can think of,and that if you want full phpbb3 usability you have to install it yourself on a website and install the mods yourself. It takes time,but it is worth it.
My final thoughts - for a noob zetaboards would be best to use. For a average user proboards or IPBFREE.
For someone wanting pure customization PHPBB3
Anyways those are my thoughts what are yours?
