Forum Advice Please

[d_barszczak]

Hi all,

 

I am starting to play with forum scripts and im looking for advice on which one to use. I need one that is easy to setup but more improtantly easy for my users to navigate.

 

Im going to want to try get it to authenticate using my current system so im going to have to customise it slightly so a good support group would help me greatly. I will also be updating themes so needs to be well coded.

 

PHPbb is what i have used in the past but never tried to modifiy it.

 

Any one any ideas.  ???

I am starting to look at SMF now, I have played with phpbb and i work with moodle.

 

I just wondered if any one had tried to do anything like this before.

 

I really need to pick one and stick to it but i don't want to get stuck down the line and some one say you should have used so and so it does it all for you.

vBulletin is my prefered I run three boards with it now, yes it costs, but you get what you pay for in my opinion and its easy to code with and plenty of mods to add in as well.
