Which one to use! [Forum Software]

-MGS- · 12-13-2005, 02:06 PM

Hello

I am looking for a forum software for my new site! But I am in a few minds as to which one to choose! Here are the ones I like!

SMF
PHPBB FM
Yabb
MyBB

I am looking for one where mods can be installed with out editing the code!

Also if you have any other board software that I should look at post it here!

All help is welcomed!

Thanks All

IpodMan

PS Happy Christmas

i'd go for smf out of those if i had to pick one.

MyBB without a friggen question.

Smf is the only one I know of that mods can be added without editing the code. Many of the mods for SMF can be installed thru the package manager.

Can you add mods to it?

I like phpbb, tons of mods.

http://www.phpbb.com/index.php

I'll go with phpbb, perhaps you should try easymod for installing new mods...

srijit · 12-14-2005, 05:27 AM

easymod is not all that its made out to be. sometimes it doesnt work. phpbb also has another big problrm IMO. it does not support sub-forums. you will have to apply a mod to do that. SMF does support sub-forums, but i dont know abt the mods.
best thing to do is to try all of them before you finalise
