First topic message reminder :

I'm thinking of setting up another forum and I don't know which format to start it off with. Now we have some new updates, are there more advantages to using Invision?

I personally think, that you should chose whatever you want. Because, not everyone will have the same preferences about different version. So. you pick whatever you think would fit the forum you are building.

I don't like phpbb3 & phpbb2 they look messy if the skins are not done properly and template editing or codes make them run slow

This right here. I like punBB, but phpBB3 and such seem to have more skins on the hitskin website. I still prefer punBB anyway

I'm going to update my first post in this topic by posting in this topic again. I had phpbb3 for 4 years, and a few months ago switched versions to "Invision" because I liked the layout it has, its quite different from phpbb3. Some things are in different places and has some features by default phpbb3 doesn't have by default like post numbering, and avatar post profile popout box, memberlist popout proflie, displaying forthcoming Calendar Events, and more, and functionality wise its just as quick and flawless as phpbb3. I must say I like Invision better. That's not to say I don't like phpbb3 anymore because I think that is a great version too, but Invision is what I was really looking for all along. I will stay with Invision, but glad I had my time with phpbb3, I learned a lot with that forum version its a great version too. And as far as template editing goes? I don't need it for the forum, it does everything I want it to do using CSS. If I wanted to edit the template I would have chosen PunBB.

Post by runawayhorses February 2nd 2013, 12:44 am

I'm going to voice my support for forums without template editing since so many people seem to think template editing is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I think its interesting that the latest versions of forums phpbb3 and Invision don't have template editing. There is a reason for that I think, its because when you edit the template you immediately make the forum prone and acceptable to errors. You can easily make mistakes with disastrous results. The forum can also seem fine one day and the next after a routine update everything goes haywire. Also the latest versions especially Invision have a lot more CSS selectors to make adjustments to the design than the other versions, and you can do so without jeopardizing the forums integrity, they have more selectors for that very reason.

Template editing is fine if you know the ramifications and possible consequences of what you're doing, and are aware that changes can effect it in a very profound way, but anything less you are taking a change of it failing. I do not want to edit my template as so many do, I like the comfort of knowing the template is in tact as the creators made it, which is the foundation in which the forum was made, and with a good forum version like Invision with many CSS selectors to do things with, its a pleasure to work with.

I challenge anyone to create a forum that is better looking and more functional than Invision forums, or phpbb3 for that matter. I've seen them all and none are more impressive than phpbb3 and Invision. I'm not tutting my own horn because my forum version is Invision, I'm simply stating that you don't need to edit your template to have a great looking forum with over-the-top functionality. I'm voicing my thoughts to support the newer versions that don't have template editing since this topic is asking the question about what forum version you prefer.. If your older version of forum allows template editing and you know what you're doing and are willing to take chances by editing the template, good for you.

First of all your profile says phpbb2 so you obviously know there are different versions, and secondly the fact that you're a "newbee" is irrelevant to which version you choose. Choosing a phpbb2 version doesn't mean you have to edit the template. Many experts at website development and design use phpbb3 and Invision. I would also point out that I am experienced at template editing, been doing it for years on my other websites I've built through the years (not forumotion forums), and I still prefer phpbb3 and invision because I can make them do what I want without editing the template.

Thank you for the above reply

I am not an expert (I am a newbee to this as you can see by my post count of 1), by any means, I needed a website with a fast set up time and not much coding to take over from an ipage hosted site, which I believe was on phpbb3, now I am wondering if/How I change the site I have set up from phpbb2 to phpbb3 could I then install tapatalk? I have checked the version in the admin panale and it does say phpBB3 yet I am only on 2 am I doing something wrong maybe?

I use both phpbb3 and invision. Invision looks better and more modern but phpbb3 is simpler and has more support devoted to it.

Phpbb2 is old and punbb is sort of an oddball.
