PhPBB or SMF for a forum?

Another thing - when a confirmation email is sent - and it says from "ME" (literally), how do you change that to say the name of your forum?

 

I love PHPBB So much easier.

But the new PHPBB 3 Layout suscks!

 

Really... I get the images to work, then next time I look at them, they're gone. I keep messing around, get one of the 3 to work, then it's gone. wtf.

 

Check with your hosting provider for installation.

We use Hsphere and all I had to do was select the forum app I wanted, click the "install" link and that was it. ... done.

If your hosting provider uses Cpanel, you should be able to install a forum very quickly with Fantastico.

I use phBB.

Have for years and it's been great.

 

SMF is harder to hack & less exploits

 

I definantly prefer SMF because it has a easy-to-use interface and the phpbb admin panel sucks, i don't even understand it!

 

I used PHPbb and not SMF, i like both but sticked with SMF

 

phpbb 3 is really great,i mean its fast and looks really cool

 

Thanks for all the replies. I did use the auto-installer. Everything so far seems fine except images.

 

phbb is good but I prefer vBulletin
