Hi,

I think InvisionBoard is excellent, I don't think that vBulletin has any features that the new release of InvisionBoard doesn't have.

I don't like either... IMHO snitz has been cobbled together with poor programming and .net forum is too buggy (too new) to be of any use.... try installing it on a shared server!

I've been very pleased with Invision Board as well. We allow clients to install PhPBB and Invision directly from cPanel and have not had any complaints on either.

We use Invision Power board v. 1.2 on our hosting site. As long as one reads the instructions carefully during install they shouldn't have any problems with it. Performance has been flawless since install.

I use to work with phpBB. Some of my clients prefer to work with phpBB cause it is free of charge.

but to be honest I like more vBulletin.

vBulletin - and now that they've released Gamma (which is almost the final release before version 3.0 is properly released) I like it even more - and now that forum2.co.uk has gone down the Gamma route I love it even more

We use phpBB. It is a good forum software.

I wasn't too keenon vB until WHC switched to it ... the latest upgrade especially is very good, better than IB I think - but IB is still a very solid package.

vBulletin is without a doubt the finest in my opinion if you can afford it, if not go for phpbb as it is nice and simple to use!

i do a lot of work with invision especially some dfesign work for them and know the admin interface back to front so my say would also be invision but im starting to like the variation given within vb3 gamma and must say i would have it if the need arises or invision became paid.

I'll have to say Invisionboard - its so simple to setup - it literally takes minutes, and the admin panel is really good in my opinion.
phpBB is good again, but I've always preferred invision especially because of its ease to install & mantain.

If you need help installing it - let me know

Been a while since I've seen this thread

phpBB has a few issues with security and speed, though its not the worst offender in that catagory.

For a "free" forum (although invision seem to be going down the charging route), I would allways go with invision.

Though the best forum to use IMO is vB - which is what this forum runs on

I have several customers running ubbThreads (formerly wwwThreads) and we seem to have no problems with it...

It runs under PHP and mySQL (as do many)... OK its probably a bit more expensive than some
