Bulletin Board/forum Choice

[rnmcd]

I see I can choose from IPB or phpBB but I was wondering if anyone knows if either of these forums allows the Administrator to copy the forum structure and permissions from one of the other forums in their board to a new forum?

 

Can we install vBulletin?

 

Thanks!

You can install any scripts that you want to; as long as they fall within the AUP and are not banned scripts, of course.. I'm not sure about that particular feature in those two forums, though.

Both phpBB and Invision Power Board have converters available for many other forums, meaning you can migrate from other forums to one of those two without (many) problems

 

For phpBB converters, check here:

For IPB converters, check here:

http://invisionboard.com/?conversion

does anyone happen to know of any websites that use vBulletin Board that are hosted by TotalChoiceHosting?

 

Btw, will TotalChoiceHosting have the InvisionPowerBoard version 2.0 available for install when it becomes available (supposedly in early September)?

 

Thanks folks!

Not me personally

That will be a cPanel upgrade, when cPanel upgrades it we get it.

Hello,

 

After trying all of them, phpBB is my favourtite. There is better support from both the original developers and many fanatics aside, hundreds of mods and templates and the actually coding is pretty easy to understand.

 

With phpBB 2.2 nearing completion it sure to strengthern there product.

Thanks for the information. I learn something every day...I did not know that the version of the scripts was dependent on the version of cPanel but it does make sense.

 

Has anyone hear of an upcoming cPanel upgrade possibility or when phpBB 2.2 will come out? I can't seem to find any information on their site.

I have a vB board, but it's on a dedicated server. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work well on a shared account however.

Do you happen to know which version of phpBB is available through TCH?

[TCH-Bruce]

The last time I installed from cPanel it was 2.0.6

 

TCH-MikeJ confirms it is 2.0.8a

 

You could download 2.0.10 from the phpBB website and install it here as well.
