Hi All

 

I want a forum on my website, i've looked at the contributions, were i found 2 forums, one does not work and the other was not too good..

 

Anyone know a good forum i can use?? or anyone who has successfully installed a forum??

That depends if you insist if you use the same database. I'm using Xoops and there is the one you are using now, phpBB. But unless you are a PHP expert you will need two seperate databases.

if u are looking for a small forum that doesn't require alot of maintenance or skill, I've found miniBB and it integrates pretty nicely into OSC (they can share the same database and u can call the forum as an include)... I'm still working on getting the 2 to share the same login.

 

u can see my forums: http://forums.madmacgames.com

Peraonally, I think you're all stoned.

 

phpbb is by far the most user friendly. I've got a script that auto registers you into the forum when you register in the shop, but I havn't got it into productions yet.

NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.

I really wish I was!! :D Hey, when you get the script finished, let me know. It would be a heck of a lot easier with one login.

 

Ok, how does it work, a synopsis. You create an OSC account and it automatically signs you into phpBB. How about vise versa?

The thing about phpBB is the strain that it puts onto the server once it gets halfway popular.  A better board (server-wise) is Invision Board.

 

Thank you! Someone here backs me up...This is exactly why i won't use phpBB anymore.

What is everyone's feelings regarding vBulletin?
