the great thing about them is that there free forums!

I use Proboards too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully V4 will be much better. :P

http://www.phpbb.com/support/guide/#section2 OR http://www.phpbb.com/support/tutorials/ ... in_install (the last one is a flash movie)

Just a note if you need a skin for Invision Free go to ifsz.com and register (Not advertising just saying) They have around 4,000+ and steadly get more and more.. May wanna dd it under them fer skins :D

I had a proboards forum, I was one of the first, so I thought it was pretty cool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How wrong we can be sometimes :roll:

invisionfree is really good, tough has a long name to it so a free url redirect link should be used. [LikelyScam] sounds shifty so dont use them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the one i use is http://www.freedomain.co.nr . you have to put a link to it on your site or they delete ur URL though (small price to pay)

 

 

 

they have url cloaking and stuff and alot of other features.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope it helps

Merc, wut do you think of netfree host? the link is : http://www.netfreehost.com/phpbb/

Its one of the better ones. It seems to be running fast, not spammed with ads and a custom logo feature. But to be perfectly honest when it costs about ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2 a month for REAL hosting and a .com I really dont know why anyone would ever have free hosted boards. You can even put adverts on it and MAKE money from it lol.

thanks for the helpful sticky- I'm not thinking of an RS forum, but was thinking of a forum for another gaming thing I do.

one very good forum system whit no database: http://zone.ee/txtforum/index.php

They have afew security issues last time i checked as they haven't been upgraded from 1.2 to 1.2.5 as they should have, but other than that it is the best around in my opinion - since invisionfree gives you a dumbed down version of ipb, with massive adverts - this gives you a full version, with no adverts at all.

Say merc, what do you think about http://www.yabbers.com

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm using it until I can convince my mom to pay for the stuff you recommended

Any site that doesnt let you have the database when you want to leave isnt worth using.

Wow that's a great guide it's even made me register a forum !

what about http://www.phpbbserver.com/i find it far faster and better than invisionfree :roll:

Invison Board isint free. Its only a demo that u get:(.

Holy bumps, Batman.

Bumping this because it's about to leave us for good, and it's quite a good How To guide. I demand it be moved to T&C.

It needs serious updating tho. :(

Viktorkrum's bump was a legitimate one for the reason he posted and it would be a waste to lock this topic given it's information content.
