    Best PHP Free forum?

    Can anyone tell what is the best freeware PHP forum for a web site?

    PHPBB is too good but it has many bugs!
    vBulletin Board is not free!

    Anything else than these two?

    Snitz forums are free (GPL license), but i think it is ASP not PHP.

    Yes, it is an ASP forum! I can't install asp forum because my host doesn't allow to.

    Only php forums allowed!
    Any other suggestions?

    You'll need to google for Invision 1.3, Invision doesn't offer downloading for it.

    Re: Best PHP Free forum?

    I was just searching for a free forum for my site too. And I found two interestion forums.

    http://www.mercuryboard.com/

    and

    http://www.myupb.com/viewscript.php?module=upb


    I think I will try the first one my self. At least it has attachments. But I hate the colors, so I guess I have to find my CSS skills from the back of my head and open PSP again..

    It was really easy to install. And has all the futures I wan't. Still a couple of things to resolve, but I think it looks ok. Need to find a better theme though. But that isn't the hardest part...I hope.

    Re: Best PHP Free forum?

    If you want a fast, secure and simple forum, then AZbb might be a good choice. Too bad it doesn't have a good template by default, but you can always make a better one


    Btw, what do you mean by "phpBB has bugs"? All forums have bugs, but phpBB2 is a fairly stable one. All my forums are phpBB


    Have to advertise here for phpBB users: I'm creating a thing called phpBB Site. But I guess I don't say much more here, I only get a worse reputation than I already have

    there's also one called MiniBB which seems fairly decent. simple & lightweight.

    YaBB is written in Perl.

    YaBB SE is written in PHP, though.

    php Net is a lightweight forum.

    UseBB too.

    That's just the first two pages after searching sf.net for "forum".
