Free Forum Software (PHP, MySQL); Alternative to phpBB
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkTuesday, February 21, 2006
I stumbled upon Simple Machines Forum, from Simple Machines, which appears to be an excellent software and competitor to phpBB forum software which I use.
It supports hierarchical representation of categories unlike phpBB. Overall it gave me a good impression looking from the website.
Is there anyone with personal experience in both phpBB and SMF? Can you please comment on your comparative experience?

I am looking to build a strong career in HR. It’s a very specific field and I have had very little luck finding openings. Can anyone refer me to an employment site that specifically caters to HR |

Hey everyone… how do I search for more than one word in other posts, so that it returns only posts with those two words? |

Digsby is a free program which combines IM, Email, and Social Networking into one. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it’s really good. I’m running 3 IM accounts, facebook, myspace, and 2 gmail accounts on it and everything works. I’m honestly impressed so far. Check it out and download it here: https://www.lan5.net/digsby.html I do have a one problem with it though. I can’t figure out how to put links into my profile. It’s not that big of a deal though. What do you think, is Digsby better than Trillian and those other communication programs? |

In comparision of the “brands” SMF wins definitely. phpBB proven it’s bad when so many users can not be controlled in their development. I would also recommend to take a look at miniBB - https://www.minibb.net. It’s also often called “an alternative to phpBB”, I don’t see it’s overloaded with the features like phpBB or SMF or vBulletin for example, but it could fit any small-to-medium site perfectly. |

Hello. Nice forum design. Okay, I need your advice. It would be better if it will be free:) Thanks a lot, Bill. |

The first forum i ever set up was a IPB one, i then changed to PHPBB because i was not getting the support needed from IPB, since then however and because of various problems, i switched again to SMF this forum is excellent and easy to use i have NEVER looked back and have not had any problems with it in the 1 and a half years that it has now been running!! In my book SMF is the BEST |
