Thanks

Hey, thanks for all your replies, i have actually tried Ikonboard.com but found it so confusing to download! Im not very clever with all that stuff! But i will try all your other options thank you.

Hi there,

I also have tested the Burning Board and found it very fast. Reminds me much of vBullentin. Definitelly it's worth of trying out.

Best,

Enigmatic

I'm not a forum expert but the one that I use is ikonboard. It is completely free, easy to set up, and has all the features that I could think of ever using.

i believe the website would be ikonboard.com

By "easy", do you want something that doesn't require local setup on your part? Then you might look at something like ezboard (beware: ads). Otherwise, Enigmatic pretty much covered it.

Hi there,

This forum soft is called vBulletin and is very popular piece of PHP/MySQL board around. It has good history; it's stable, fast and efficient. You can get it (rather buy it) from:

http://www.vbulletin.com/

But, if you are looking for similar board for free, here's good choice:

http://www.phpbb.com
or
http://www.openbb.com

Otherwise, choose IkonBoard forums if your server does not offer PHP/MySQL.

Best Regards,

Enigmatic
