@ agyat	:	(19 April 2013 - 02:54 AM) And of course I know it is not SEO friendly.
@ agyat	:	(19 April 2013 - 02:52 AM) There may be two possible answers for that .... 1) Shout was posted using mobile keypad. 2) To force people read content carefully and/or with more concentration.
@ agyat	:	(19 April 2013 - 02:49 AM) There may be two possible answers for that ....
@ yordan	:	(18 April 2013 - 09:35 PM) however, why this mixing of capital letters in the middle of your text?
@ agyat	:	(18 April 2013 - 11:10 AM) false feelings.

[quote name="Brian" post="18817" timestamp="1108850669"] I think phpBB is for those who want something really basic or really complex. By it's self, phpBB is really simple and easy to get the hang of, but if you want a lot of customizeable things you can hack it and stuff. I found some great hacks at [url="http://phpbbhacks.com/"]phpBBhacks.com[/url]. Another great thing about phpBB is that you can find so many free skins. It seems like most Invision skins cost a bit of money. On the other hand if you want a lot of easy to use custom options, but don't want to do a lot of "hacking," use Invision. It does some cool things right out of the box. Personaly, Invision works best for my purposes right now. I think most people would find Invision to be the most useful, but both are good, so just decide what you needs and abilities are.[/quote] [quote name="Brian" post="18817" timestamp="1108850669"] I think phpBB is for those who want something really basic or really complex.

Topic Summary

If i must choose between those two , then i will choose PHPBB , because it has a large amount of mods , that you can use to personalize it and add options to your forum , plus a large variety of themes ;free themes that you can use or even customize to feet your needs.
Invision vs PHPbb : use phpbb , it's more securised "if you do check for updates and install them early"

I think this is a personal preference issue, even though there are some difference between the 2. personally I would vote for invision.

I prefer IPB. I wouldn't use phpBB for a really active forum. It has too many exploits. I also agree with an earlier poster that vB is best for a really active forum.

I think it all really depends on what kind of situation you are in.

If you have the ability to buy IPB, then do so, but if not, go with phpBB.

i think i will go with phpbb, coz its more easy to use and more flexible to what i need/like.
invision is complex in the sort that its not designed properly to be easy, but i can still manage.. depends on taste too..
also, i've tried phpbb first, and i havent had much problems, so yeah phpbb..

Neither. IPB's waay overpriced and the ACP's all screwed up, and phpBB just doesn't have enough good features. You can't even add subforums. Plus, you need to edit PHP to just disable COPPA registration...

I'm a big fan of Jaia Interactive's MyTopix forum software, which I use on my site. It's currently in beta, and even though you'll have to pay for it if you want final when it comews out, it'll only be $40, and half that for the first fifty customers! And, I'm not sure, but it might be free without all the official support and skins and shtuff...

No your wrong, Invision Power Board all the way I love it its great and the nearly most popular board even 1.3x is great 2.0x is a lovely board.
Here is my rank for boards
1. IPB
- 2.1.1 (this one rocks more ACP is great here)
- 2.0.0 and 2.0.4 (ACP is like 1.3, but the skin..its so great)
2. PHPBB
- version 2 is great
3.Vbulletin
-I hate vbulletin its layout, Administration Control Panel, skin, etc..

these are the only boards i tried and ranked

SMF has just released SMF RC1, scaleability is amazing, new admin panel layout and options, and a lot more modable and secure.

well if it were between those two i would pick IPB because its got so many more options then the ACP is 100% better then phpbb but if it were between all boards, vBB would win by far, no contest

If I am going to run a really active messageboard, my first choice is vbulletin. I'm baised as I've been familar with Keir Darby's work (VB creator) for almost 7 years now.

Between invision and phpBB, invision has always been the package I've chosen. phpBB has a larger install base and a lot more security exploits.

However, lately I've used whatever messageboard intergrates with Mambo (I think its simpleboard).

Personally I like invision board for moderately active boards.
