I'm trying to find a forum software to use for my forum. I want something simple (not SMF, vB, phpBB, etc). I really would like something like http://www.network54.com/Forum/12334/ has. You don't have to register, it's layed out like that is, etc. Can anyone help me?
you can allow guest posting on some forum software, like phpbb, vB i personally use fluxbb, a branch off punbb you can check my site in my sig to see how it is or check http://fluxbb.org
Thanks for your responses, but I am looking for a threaded forum system (couldn't think of the term last night). Threaded is what I need. Does anyone have any they can direct me to?
In almost every forum script, you will be able to allow your guest for posting, but remind that, this may give big support to SPAMMERS etc !
You want GetVanilla.com software...it's VERY good and close to what you want. I highly recommend it. Oh and Mybb has a threaded mode in it's software.
Check out big-boards.com. You will see a list of forum softwares. Some of them may sound unfamiliar to you.
MyBB is good. v1.4 is coming out, and it may even be better than some of the paid forum scripts (ie vBulletin). Though no one is sure when the release date is (tentative end-July). It has a threaded mode, and it's free. mybboard.com
I suggest vbulletin, it can do everything your after. but I would be careful with guest posting.. spammers will be all over it.
