steveclondon Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Try this one: http://www.phpbb.com/It is open source but widely used Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/22486-commercial-forum-software/#findComment-100833 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I wouldnt use phpbb! Your client will have to update their forum every week/month as phpbb is full of holes. I'd suggest you go for SMF, whcih we use here, if you want to use a free forum. If you want commercial forum go for Vbulletin rather than IPB.

printf Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 There are so many much safer PHP based forums than phpBB, sorry it the worse example of PHP coding I have seen, fudforum is one of the better coded ones. There maybe be others, I just have never looked at them.me!
