Both are free, easy, and have decent features. Invision board just has more, depends on how much you want. Both are php and mySql based I think.
I don't really like yabb or ubb. They have alot of extra stuff I wouldn't bother with. But I am sure they have alot more control in the admin area. I just prefer "lighter" boards. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 624 UGN GFX Whore | | UGN GFX Whore Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 624 | Hi xero
Well my recommandation to you would be: vBulletin but since it's not free either then you'd better go for what CS told you, IB is great, phpBB too, iconboard sux. But still if i was you i'd start with phpBB coz i have a "bad" history with IB.
Anyway it's your choice.

YaBB, Invision, phpBB, a couple others that I can't think of. They're all to fluffy, all too haven, like CS's beef with UBB. But UBB is way lighter than IB or phpBB. So if you're looking at PHP boards, I'd say go with UBB. I have another one you can look at at my site: http://www.javaspot.net/ubb/ubbthreads.php If you're interested in a servlet based bb, I'll be offering something soon... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 192 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 192 | yeah i like UBB too, vbulletin i havent tried, but looks good, but both of these (which i would prefre) i have to buy... cant afford the X hundred dollars they charge | | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 955 UGN Super Poster | | UGN Super Poster Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 955 | The best boards I see are almost always UBB, vBulleting, or Invision. In that order.
I also do not want to get this subject off subject, but what about CMS? Anyone familiar with Edge by Box Network? Any other suggestions? | | |
