msly,

If you need anything else just let me know, I've used many different message boards and phpBB is one of them.


slothy,

I'd do a lot more reseach about Invision Board before using it for serious purpose. RCNT once considered converting however I found the Invision is no stranger to security holes. Being a newer company compared to the others this doesn't surprise me. If it was me I'd say go with phpBB for free and vBulletin for paid (you get SO MUCH MORE with vbulletin!)

So far I am totally happy with PHPBB. It setup very easy and has alot of features. The Forum I am setting up will only have about 34 members of a Club. I was just doing something stupid on the setup. I am now starting to get into the customization of the style. I want to put my own logo etc.
