Best Forums to use?
on: July 10, 2007, 12:34:19 PM
Hi all,

No not looking for a tek alternative! Im setting up a motor review website (for a friend - I know f*ck all about cars as Ive said before!!) and he wants a forum to be part of it. I used to use PHPBB but I think you guys have been advising others lately. Im looking for one thats simple to install and setup and simple to administer. Not too worried about funky features although obviously I dont want it to be too bland either.

Any suggestions?

Agree its a good forum software but what makes it the one to get at the moment is the active comunity supporting it and the 3rd party extensions and mods and templating that makes it the next free invision quality style forums around

got it up and running in minutes and added a nice swanky skin. Really great - perfect for what I need. Nice one. :D

Could someone translate that to an island near to Krakatoa or some coffee?

Then Sam could transfer us onto something other than this Jforum.
