What version do you use?

Why did you use it?

What is your favorite version?

Why is it your favorite version?

What version would you recommend to a beginning user and why?

----------------------------------------

The version i use the most personally is phpbb2.

Reason being its relatively simple for my users to navigate on. They don't have to search all over for most things and its pretty easy to customize. I like discovering new things to tinker with in it as well such as the templates feature.

My overall favorite version is probably going to be invision.

Reason being? It's really cool looking. The futuristic feel it gives makes it an awesome choice for more advanced forum makers. Also with its fully customizable CSS sheet its a designers paradise. The only thing i'm pretty much saddened about is the lack of template editing though i hope in the future it'll be allowed.

I'd probably recommend either phpbb2, or punbb. Both are pretty simple and easy to design and there are perhaps hundreds of tutorials and screenshots that the person could use to better design their site. Plus it allows them to grow into the development phase by giving them plenty of tools that they could use to design their forum.

phpBB2 was written in the last millennium and has all sorts of security problems. PunBB is flat-out buggy -- there's a reason no one uses it outside of forumotion.

I use phpBB3 and IPB2/Invision exclusively here on forumotion. They are FAR more stable and secure than phpBB2 and PunBB, with much richer feature sets. They require less customizing because they are better boards out-of-the-box.

And anyone who says phpBB3 and IPB2 are less customizable than phpBB2 or PunBB here on forumotion doesn't know what they're talking about. There is nothing, and I repeat NOTHING, that can't be done on these boards that people using templates are doing on phpBB2 and PunBB boards.

PHB3 because I think it allows for more customizing option (except for template editing which is a real bummer) and I also think that it is one of the best board versions Forumotion offers.

phpBB2 and punBB are really behind the times. I would like to see them be phased out and a new phpBB be introduced. I use phpBB3 as it may seems more modern (with the exception of Invision). Invision looks good until you minimize the screen and everything goes out of place.

OK...you keep believing that.

In the meantime, head over to Sourceforge and look at the bug reports for PunBB. Then go to phpbb.com and read why phpBB2 boards are the targets of choice for hackers.

That's a problem with any fixed-width skin -- and it's caused by poor/lazy design. It takes some skill to write CSS that works with any screen width...

What I'm saying is, this problem isn't specific to IPB2 -- you'll find it on any Hitskin skin designed for a fixed width.

What version do you use?
Invision

Why did you use it?
Because it's beautiful to use it. I use a skin from Jalokim and I like my forum how it is now.

What is your favorite version?
Invision, but I like phpbb 3 too. I don't understand why people use phpbb 2 it's to old and it's not interesting to see and to use it.

Why is it your favorite version?
Because it's a really nice to use. I like modern stuff and not old stuff.

What version would you recommend to a beginning user and why?
phpbb 3, because there is no diffrent in the admin panel. Also you can get more members, because it looks better.
The subject of your forum is not always the part for a user to register or not. If there are 5 forums about animals and there is 1 person who take care about the skin (it looks nice and more of that positive things), then I would choose for that forum and not a forum that use phpbb 2 with maby a subsilver skin ( I don't like every other skins either).

IPB, cause forumotions ToS is fucked.

InfamouZ if you say F Forumotion why are you still here? Do I need to help you to a door?

@MrMario, there's no door on a forum. I think you need to go back to school. Banning me won't get rid of me. Make yourself feel important. You just a GM, nothing more. You spend your time on the computer haha, get a job, and maybe a life?

I bet $100 you will overwrite this post. Afraid of the truth?

Bye (:

I'll be back.

punBB is not behind the times, you can do amazing things with it, it's just that most people lack the skill to do anything with it. phpBB2 is however outdated, I would like to see it phased out, but a new phpBB version cannot be introduced until the company releases one, even then it might be two to three years before it is installed on Forumotion.

I've never experienced any major bugs with punBB, and all forum versions have bugs. I will agree with you that phpBB2 is broken, in fact, I'm not sure why it's still an option. As for the link in your profile, what about it? It's just an HTML page...
