I like Invision but they're usually for the bigger sites. I'm using MyBB for my new site WebTalk UK. I think vBulletin is good but it's too expensive for some teenage web designers like myself.

I don't think their is anything wrong with using free forum software. Matter of fact I have seen some really big forums that run on free forum software. www.pwctoday.com just switched to vBulletin but before that they were running phpBB and their member count is 16,000+. Free forums can go a long way, its the mods and admin that makes a good forum. Not the software. Anyway good luck on your website.

Thanks I opened it just over a week ago. From what I remember, the internets biggest forum is a PHPBB forum.

I started on the lowest of the low, proboards, moved to phpbb and then to IPB and i work with VB, but for me IPB is the best and easist to work with.

I used to love Invision, but I have sort of lost my interest in it after experiencing what phpBB can do if modded and skinned well. Some people look down on it, because it is free, but it has loads of potential. Another forum that is incredibly easy to code is PunBB, but skinning is a bit more difficult on that one.

I have worked with phpBB. It has worked fine for me.

thats the thing though, all of them work fine, because they are all tested but its functionality, usability and user-friendliness that wins it for me with vbulleting, the admincp offers a hell of alot of functions, in depth template modification and most of all it looks professional from stock
