Seems kinda buggy. Sometimes it stops showing what new posts have been made since your last visit.

Nice forum, easy to install, although I did have to do some searching around for updates and other extras to make it work on my server. But if I can do it any one can.

This is a great script. The design is cool, the drain on system resources is minimal. I've tried several forum scripts, but this is the best one I've ever come across.

phpBB is the best forum I have ever come across. It doesn't even need any knowledge of PHP on the users' part and installation and administration is simple with the GUI interface. And if you know the code and want to change it to suit your needs, the code can be easily changed. Also error messages generated by the script are little compared to others where error of variables not declared were shown on hosts which turns on the error reporting to all. I would recommend this to anyone.

Now this script is easy to install. I have only started to customize it for my needs. From what I see so far it rocks! And best of all, it is free.

Easy install or seamless upgrade. It's hard to modify the look and feel though. This is the kind of thing you build your site around, not vice versa.

I love it. With a small effort, and some backups, you can do some great mods to it too. Basically, I don't know much about PHP/MySQL but the two sites that support this BB are increadible resources.

Many nice features, ok support base, but many difficult or impossible-to-plug security holes that appear to be a problem with all PHP-based forums.

I've used an uncountable number of forums over the years and all have had problems, but phpBB seems to be an exception. It's very well designed and programmed. The code is very clean and even a non-PHP programmer like myself can easily modify it. I've never used PHP before, but found it very easy to modify. Generally a very well designed script with a good team behind it. Support forum is very good and the number of hacks/addons is quite impressive. Excellent!

This is a fantastic Message Board System, which is really easy to install and has practicaly the same functionality as the more commercial ones. Keep up the Good Work and I hope to see some more improvments in the future.
