    easiest forum software?

    Hey all,

    What is the easiest forum software to install and administrate?

    Easy is essential since I am a bit of a dummy when it comes to technology (at least compared to most of you!).

    Cheap or free are a must, as my initial application for this software would be on a nonprofit organization's web site I would be Hosting.

    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    phpBB.

    upload, change 3 variables in config.php, and delete two folders.

    uploading time: 3-5 minutes
    configuring time: 1 minute

    phpBB up and running in 5 minutes.


    I heard Invision Board is very good too.

    I have tried both phpBB and InvisionBoard. And all I have to say is Invision is 100x better.

    The Admin CP has many many more options. The Mods and Mod CP are better. The hacks are easy to install, and there are plenty of them. Very easy installation if you follow the instructions they have.
    The layout of the board is nicer. Many skins. Nicer smilies.

    I basically can list most everything. Just from personal experiance, I like Invision way better. I cannot think of one thing that is better about phpBB.

    php is very easy to install - as is invision

    out of the two invision is miles better

    though if youve got the cash id reccomend geting vbulletin

    p.s ive installed about 6 or 7 different kinds of forums - in general there all fairly simple to install. But if your having problems or whatever, drop me an email and ill sort it out for you

    I do own over 10 vB licences - but prefer to use phpBB on my own sites.
