I need some help finding a good forum software. I am currently using XMB but something happened and it went berserk. I already know about phpbb2, mybb, minibb, yabb, and smf. I want to know if there are any others. Also, I know of a board but i forget what it was called. It was something like WTCBOARDS

vBulletin is my favorite. It's what's used here, my forum, and countless other places.

What about phpBB? VB and Invision have sold out.

Edit: Didn't realise you had already said you knew about phpBB. But still phpBB is the best

Now, don't you exagerate a little? PhpBB is still one of the best!

The default subSilver theme for phpBB only looks bad because it is so over used. Using the subsilver theme shows that you can't be bothered to install a nice theme for it. You can hack at the templates to integrate with a site and move stuff around so it looks and feels dramatically different from the default.

I usually go for phpbb, but security wise its useless.

Iv started using SMF a lot, and its becoming my favorite.
SMF has a lof of nice features, built in mod rewrite SEO mod makes your pages static html instead of all the ?forum=666&=sid=7896h4858h4 crap. Already has karma...

I think ill be using SMF a lot more than phpbb now.

PhpBB is a good option if you have the time to install some good hacks and mod the theme. Here are 2 of mine who look qiute OK, as people say

webmaster forums and women forums .. a lot of things can be done with some coding and image manipulation

There are a lot of good mods for phpbb, but its easy to end up with a bloated forum that is a nightmare to patch. Every couple of month there is a phpbb patch and its imperative that you stay ontop of them.
A heavily modded board can make it very hard to patch.

I've found that SMF comes with a lot of features as standard that i would have had to install seperate with phpbb.
Plus it has RSS which is awesome.

IPB is the best forum software i ever seen, is worth every penny for the license. The RSS import-export features are simply gold .

Well, patching is just another mod installation for me There are 2 types of forum upgrading: the "normal" upgrade, or changing the code in the affected files ... this last solution is the one we use (when having too many mods installed). Just open the files, look for the code, change, upload and pray :lol:

On the last phpbb patch i ended up installing a fresh copy of all files using the old database. I nearly started crying when i read that the estimated installation time on the manual patch was about 3 hours lol.

I can only say that patching sucks when you got a modded phpBB...
