what is better?!?

[Mohammed]

hey guyz,,, well just want to ask you all (most likley to web masters)

well i see there are alot of forum borads

which one do u think is better?





Invision Power Board

or

phpBB 2

?

and why

[streetsoulja]

uh, well, i gotta say that vbulletin own these two

[Samuel]

I like invision. It it easier to use. It easy to change settings and it easier for members to navigate.

[MetalSkin]

well as a user i would say that phpbb2 is better, only because I have found it more reliable and consistant.

As an admin I cannot realy comment, as I have only played around with phpbb2.

[Illegalx17]

hmm. I havent experienced phpbb a lot, but i hear its better, and it definetly has its plus's. The great thing about invision though is the "fast reply" feature. That is a lifesaver for me. I love that.

[MetalSkin]

yes, true, the fast reply is a very nice feature that I havn't seen on phpBB2, though there may be a mod for it.

Invision has a lot more administrative functions than phpBB, and that's why I personally enjoy it more. People claim that phpBB is suppost to be more secure, but recently there was a huge bug which effected all the phpBB boards and caused thousands to be deleted - although there are similar problems in older versions of invision.

Its a hard choice, I enjoy invision a hella lot more.

[Mohammed]

oh i see,, well actually i own a phpBB forum (check my sig) and i got the fast replay and every thing,,,

and the good thing about phpBB is that there alott of mods for it,,

[tacoX]

There are also a lot of mods for invision. Both have its advantages, I wouldnt say one is better. Its nice to have sub forums though (something you cannot have in phpBB).

phpBB has security leaks more often than ipb but then again ipb is heavier on the server and reguires more loading but i'd still say ipb 'cause it's more stable
