TwelveMotion Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 I had a forum that I made a long time ago, but now the CPanel is different and I am having some trouble working it. How do I get a phpBB forum now? Quote
TCH-Don Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 There was so much trouble with phpBB forum being hacked that it was removed from cpanel. You will need to download it from the phpBB web site and install it yourself. Or you can use cpanels fantastico to install SMF, a more secure forum and it is easy to upgrade. Quote
TwelveMotion Posted February 18, 2007 Author Posted February 18, 2007 Well ok, I am not attached to phpBB or anything. SMF sounds fine, does it have themes and stuff? Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 Yes it is customizable. Not by default, but you can check out http://www.simplemachines.org/ for themes, addons and much more. Quote
Samrc Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 SMF forum is a lovely open-source forum that has just been a pleasure to work on. Never tried phpBB so I couldn't tell you how it compares. Quote
surefire Posted February 18, 2007 Posted February 18, 2007 I haven't used it yet, but this looks pretty slick: h*tp://getvanilla.com/tour/posting/ Vanilla Forum Quote
carbonize Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Have a look at www.opensourcecms.com where you can test several forum scripts and even log into the admin sections. Quote
