Forum - Need advice

phpBB & IPB is not really what I need

[tomda]

Hi,

Need to implement a forum in my website.
I have tried phpBB and an old version of Invision Board, these two forums are great but it is not really what I need. I am looking for something much simpler (no upload, no email notification, no emoticons). Let's say that something like this board is very good.
Went to BestBBS v3.15 web page but there is nothing in it for the moment.

So, should I start making my own?

I found the phpBB to be very comprehensive and I've had to turn many features off!

Have you looked at it lately?

Take a look at MiniBB: [minibb.net...] - it has a simpler, more minimalist look than phpBB, and is easy to integrate into an existing design.

phpBB is very good, but it is overloaded with features. You can disable smilies, etc. but it can be hard work getting it down to the basics.

Try out Mini BB ... get it from minibb.net.

I would also highly recommend miniBB.

Hi,

Have MiniBB and it looks like it is the one I am going to use.

In the manual, they say that it is preferable to use '' in PHP script instead of "" as it improve drastically the speed? Any though?

Also, what is better : registration with ou without email confirmation and link activate?

By the way, I'd like to have more information regarding login/registration in MiniBB. I have already a membership PHp website using sessions (values are user_id or guest), I'd like to know how should I do to have only one login/registration process for the all website (so that logged person do not need to log again in the forum session). If you have the answer, then just stick me.

Thanks
