Personally I think SMF is a great choice. phpBB updates quite alot which is good to prevent problems with hacking and such, but it is still quite prone to hackers abuse.

Free IPB is like..too exploitable.. I´ve heard actually bad things about the free one. Only use IPB if you use the good, bought software, like version 2.0 or any updated up to date version.

There is also vBulltin..quite expensive for what you get, but it´s very nice.


If you want free, use SMF, or phpBB, before you use IPB. Ipb is also complicated, and sometimes hard to administrate. phpBB is too easy. xD

Smf

I have never used Smf befor.
Alot of people seem to like it though. I'm going to play around with it and tell you what i think

I tried installing SMF a few days ago, and it had SQL errors I'll try again.

Well i think you should try all of the main ones to me i like phpBB because of all the mods and the skins are pretty good most other people like IPB i think its pretty good but i dislike SMF

 

[Alejandro]

How do I download IPB, is it free?

 

[Alejandro]

There must be some problems with fantastico because, I tried to install SMF and phpBB2 and I get db errors.

Sorry for double post, but I didn't want to start a new thread.
I decided to use IPB, it's really nice, but a bit complex. I installed IPB 1.2 from cPanel, because I couldn't find IPB 2.0 for free.
Well, I think I configured everything, so it must be working properly by now. If you speak spanish, why don't you register and help me make this new community grow?, if not, I'm opening an English Category for all of you. http://www.katieholmesmexico.com/forums

IPB 2.x is not free. It used to be. Someone i know had a demo with an unlimited licence.

2.0.0 and 2.0.1 is free though, only if you had it before it was declared commercialized.

 

[Matthews255]

too late now.

Its a shame u cant extend licences for software by just setting the windows clock back like you could in the good old days.
