I actually use phpBB for my forum, and think it's fine. I really like the interface compared with vBulletin and others, and it's really easy to customise IMHO. I'm a relatively new forum admin, so perhaps there's something I don't know. Is there a reason that people don't like phpBB? ]]> 56 Fri, 28 Aug 2015 06:54:08 +0000 https://www.admin-talk.com/threads/extension-system.51614/ https://www.admin-talk.com/threads/extension-system.51614/ invalid@example.com (avault) avault Sun, 26 Jul 2015 19:17:58 +0000 https://www.admin-talk.com/threads/looking-at-other-forums.51602/ https://www.admin-talk.com/threads/looking-at-other-forums.51602/ invalid@example.com (Martin Evans) Martin Evans

I have just uploaded phpBB on a test server which is on a shared hosting. I am going to learn more about the application as things have realistically changed since 2006-7 when I had my first working forum and it was on phpBB.

Now, as things stand, I am still ill and so I would need funds to keep the forum running and also if all goes well, I will try to migrate it to its own space. So I thought of putting up some adverts on it - maybe Google adwords or even the others.

Now, in order...
