Forum software recommendation

Hello Folks,

I am planning to develop a forum and would like to know from experienced people here what software to use and how to proceed with the development project.

Thanks all,

i just bought web with forum he have installed simply machine Powered by SMF 1.1.7 and have good theme you can see www.e-currencytalk.com and it work great

 

If you have money to invest, than there is nothing better than Vbulletin.

if you want free:
try MyBB

 

I use mybb and vb. Both are very good.

 

MyBB is the best!

Great admin interface
Very helpful support
Many powerful plugins
Custom Pages plugin
Plugins easy to install
Easy to learn to modify the PHP in templates and use variables
Great framework to learn how to write code
Themes and CSS easy to modify
Overall very intuitive
New task manager
MyBB 1.4 was a huge upgrade
New moderator Control Panel
Tested for security by a top professional company
Fast and light
Cool new editor
Choice of points system plugins
Auto add members to a new usergroup based on several variables
Free!!

~~~~~
ps. If MyBB was installed by Fantastico it would be the runaway #1 free forum.

 

Anyone have any sites that are setup with MyBB... would love to see a forum set up with that!

 

You can search one google pal,
Anyway my advice to use vbulletin or phpbb3, or ay other asp scripts also do great jobs.
good luck.

 

Thanks to everybody, now it seems the choices are
1) VBulletin
2) phpBB3
3) myBB

can we have a sort of comparison of these 3 softwares, gemini's post has a good amount of details for myBB.

What do you think ladies and gentlemen about the above 3 softwares?

Thanks again,

Dhook

 

I'd go with myBB. phpBB3 has a great template but lacks other features that myBB has. Since both are free, you can consider trying them out.

You've got to pay for Vbulletin though.

 

I am going with MyBB as well. Much easier to understand.

 

use vbulletin or phpbb

 

mybb is very good. Punbb is very quick.
