Naihab Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 This is actually a future project of mine - of all the forums I've tried, they either a) aren't free software or b) suck. So when I get time I'm going to write my own. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30687-best-free-forum-script/page/2/#findComment-586228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ardyandkari Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 depends. not looked at it myself, but some "upgrades" are not as good as others. a few Windows releases have been like that in the past. but as I said in the other thread - SMF all the way from here on in. HA!!! sorry...a few are still not that good... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30687-best-free-forum-script/page/2/#findComment-605095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phpSensei Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I mean for my fantastico deluxe or whatever. That's the only option. I COULD put all the files in there, but if I just want to download the files directly to my file manager with fantastico, that's my only choice. I think you can ask your host provider to expand the option (fantatisco script installer) depending on which hosting company you have chosen, or maybe it costs more.

edjon2000 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I voted for SMF as it is the forum software I use on my website I have looked at quite a few of the others but kept coming back to SMF 1.1.5 I did try to install SMF 2 but basically broke everything in the process (thank goodnes for DB Backups) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/30687-best-free-forum-script/page/2/#findComment-618180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
torb Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 SMF. Simple, fast. My phpBB experience is that while the software is OK, security issues usually take some time before they are taken care of, and that's a big no-no, in my opinion. XMB is OK, although it has ended up a far way behind now. It is very easy to customize, which I think is good. I've hacked my XMB to pieces.
