websolutions Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Not so long ago I was notified that PHPBB has released its 3rd, stable version of the web based forum application. For those who are interested in having your own forum PHPBB3 is the way to go. The previous versions 1,2, were not as secure and allowed SPAMMERs create fake accounts and post all kind of crap on the forum. How does PHPBB3 different than Invision Board you ask? Well, PHPBB3 is open source/free to the public to install and utilize within its confines. I am currently working on one installation and so far so good, I will share the demo link later. If you have any questions about this topic let me know. WS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garo Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yes I have a question - do you think anyone here cares what's the latest version of phpBB and how your installation goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynaman Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) You know WS: I am kind of interested in doing that. It wouldn't be an Armenian forum, but what is involved? Is it free? How much work is involved? Aram Edited January 16, 2008 by Dynaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it free? How much work is involved? Aram Aram, you can do this by downloading the PHPBB3 forum installation package and uploading it to your main directory. If you do not have a Web Hosting account you won't be able to do this, to get one go to the following site: Instant Domain Search And Web Hosting Deals (http://www.livedomainsearch.com) search for a proper domain name, choose a web hosting company from the list, I prefer Blue Host and purchase a 1 year subscription, it should only cost you about $120 - $140 bucks per year. Once everything is set and running, let me know and I will do the upload for you and the installation. However, you will be responsible for creating the forums and modifying the settings from the ADMIN panel. Let me know if you have any questions.

Please don't post mindless replies, especially when you have not introduced yourself. You don't have to jump to guns, no one said anything about killing your threads. It's just that you've started two thread about a cool site and there is one master thread pinned which is meant for this. And then a third one again to announce another side. I just assumed you're posting here to make publicity. You have to admit that with a username like Websolutions and this, its sound as a single purpouse account, not that it should make any differences though. (should it?)

I get your point, the truth is I am trying to bring something new to the table. My main category is technology: web, marketing, VOIP, portable devices, etc, so I will be contributing in that specific area using my works as real world examples. My intent here is not to SPAMM or promote for the sake of promoting, my intent is to help others our with their web related questions and endeavours. Hope this clears things up...

aSoldier Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Vbulletin destroys PHPBB in every way. It may cost $ but it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gevo18 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Vbulletin destroys PHPBB in every way. It may cost $ but it's worth it. Invision Power Board hits V-Bulletin, 10x better, phpBB 3.0 is pretty good but the Admin C.P. can be confusing some times..but's it's not bad. I'm glad HyeForum uses IPB, it has to be the easiest forum software by IPB, and it has a very nice clean style as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StverDJ Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Anyone can start a forum, but will it be successful? Forums are the hardest type of website to get going. So hard that there are services that charge you for forum postings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
