hi WMT members,
can anyone recommend me best FREE PHP FORUM other than vBulletin, phpbb and invision board,

1. I like invision and vBulletin boards but they are not free !!!
2. phpbb is alright (thats what i m using but i m unhappy with number of spams getting everyday, there is not option to delete multipal post together, u have to delete all spams post one by one....

so can anyone recommend me any other best php forum, which provide quite variety of features.....

regards,
Jeet

Try Simple Machines: http://www.simplemachines.org/

invisionfree is good the only problem is that there is an ad on the page but you can pay to romove those ads by paying $5 or more and it per 1,000 page views $0.15 is removed from the ammont you pay.

if you have yahoo web hosting you can change your CNAME records and have the forum on your site (you cant but it will appear to be) eg. forums.mysite.com = your invisionfree forum.

it shows you how to do this on the invisionfree support forum


also on that forum there is lots of codes for it and yesterday i saw one that can add something to the post of certain members (your choice) of replace there post totally with what you want it to say.

if you need any help pm me

MyBB All the way man!

http://www.mybboard.com/

It's sexy and mostly unknown so less hackers target it. That and modding it is a breeze.

you also dont need to upload it to a server like my yahoo web hosting domain in wont let me have .htaccess on it and there are plenty of those in php-nuke for example (and i know you dont wont a web portal i was just giving and example.)

thanks every1,
I m gonna compare Try Simple Machines and MyBB.... will decide which one work better for me with good features...
