If you are looking at a free forum, then go with phpBB. Its highly moddable. An example of a highly modded phpBB board can be seen at

Any idea when phpbb 2.2 is expected to be released?

phpbb will be releassing version 2.2 in the not too distant future, with many more features as standard. and templating will be easier and improved.

I switched from phpBB to Invision Boards.

My reasoning was the mods I had to apply to phpBB to match the defaults of Invision Board.

THough everyone says phpBB is easier to mod, I personally found the DB template based approach in pieces easier to customize them editing large template files.

Also the admin Control Panel is alot more thorough with IBF.

Only down side with IBF, it is more corperate and they don't support the community and its mods the way phpbb does. phpbb has adopted many mods from its community. IBF notes the good ones but designs its own so the community doesn't get a boost for its large efforts.

phpBB mods come out alot faster, and they see to work a bit better on their first releases.

Hope that helps you out.

They're both very good boards. I guess choosing between those two comes down to personal taste. I personally use phpBB since they've been around a lot longer and there are tons of hacks/mods for it. Their community is great as well.
